Abstract
The current invention is directed to further improve the character recognition process based upon the comparison of identification value in a sample image and a reference image by adjusting the identification value of the sample image. The adjustment is made based upon a predetermined feature of the sub-area or a mesh region of the images. The desired improvement in accuracy is obtained especially for recognizing handwritten characters.
