Pattern recognition apparatus and method utilizing conversion to a common scale by a linear function
Canon Kabushiki Kaisha, Tokyo, JP;
Abstract
Two different recognition processing units respectively perform a plurality of different recognition processing operations for the pattern to be recognized input from a character input unit, and acquire a plurality of recognition candidates and recognition scores. An accuracy calculation unit converts the recognition scores obtained by the two recognition processing units into accuracies based on a scale common to the plurality of different recognition processing operations using parameters stored in a parameter storage unit. A determination unit generates a recognition candidate sequence by determining the order of the recognition candidates obtained by the two recognition processing units on the basis of the accuracies converted by the accuracy calculation unit.
