Abstract
A system and method for implementing frequency domain based magnetic ink character recognition (MICR). A system is provided that includes: a segmentation system for segmenting inputted MICR data into sets of temporal data for inputted characters; a Fourier system for generating a set of Fourier components from temporal data for an inputted character; a normalization system for normalizing the set of Fourier components to generate a normalized set of Fourier components; and a matching system for comparing the normalized set of Fourier components with each of a set of reference waveforms to determine an identity of the inputted character.
