Optical Font Recognition Using Typographical Features 光学字体排印特征识别中的应用 Abdelwahab Zramdini and Rolf Ingold 阿卜杜勒Zramdini和罗尔夫英戈尔德 Abstract—A new statistical approach based on global typographical features is proposed to the widely neglected problem of font recognition. It aims at the identification of the typeface, weight, slope and size of the text from an image block without any knowledge of the content of that text. The recognition is based on a multivariate Bayesian classifier and operates on a given set of known fonts. The effectiveness of the adopted approach has been experimented on a set of 280 fonts. Font recognition accuracies of about 97 percent were reached on high-quality images. In addition, rates higher than 99.9 percent were obtained for weight and slope detection. Experiments have also shown the system robustness to document language and text content and its sensitivity to text length. 摘要-一种新的统计方法在全球印刷提出了基于特征的字体识别广泛忽视的问题。其目的是从一个图像块没有任何该文本的内容，知识在字体，重量，坡度和文本的大小确定。承认是基于多元贝叶斯分类和某一已知字体进行操作。该方法的有效性通过试验已在280个字体集。大约百分之97的字体识别的准确度就高品质的图像。此外，利率高于百分之99.9，获得了重量和斜坡检测。实验也表明，系统的鲁棒性文件的语言和文字内容，其敏感度文本的长度。 Index Terms—Optical font recognition, typographical features, font models, multivariate Bayesian classifier, document analysis, OCR. 指数计算，光学识别字体，排版功能，字体模式，多元贝叶斯分类，文件分析，光学字符识别。 1 INTRODUCTION A considerable amount of research has been dedicated to optical character recognition (OCR) of printed texts. Early OCR systems, called monofont reading systems were able to read a single font, sometimes even specific fonts that were designed for optical reading purposes (OCR-A and OCR-B fonts). The tendency of recent developments was oriented toward omnifont recognition methods, which aim at recognizing characters of any font and style [1], [2]. Some of the currently available OCR products are only able to distinguish two or three font styles such as italic, bold, seriffed, or sanserif. Results of such tools are, however, still not very accurate. To our knowledge, there has
