An OCR Concept for Historic Prints

We present a new concept for the recognition of single characters, the core component of every OCR-System. The recognition is organized as pattern matching with on-the-fly generated patterns corresponding to the glyphs of a given computer font. Thereby, the set of currently considered fonts can be chosen and exchanged arbitrarily which allows a flexible adaption of the software to each specific task, in particular the needs of historic prints.
