Modified Ternary Phase-Only SDF Filter for Korean Character Recognition

한글문자 인식을 위한 수정3차 위상SDF필터

For the efficient recognition of Korean characters, a modified ternary phase-only synthetic discriminanty function filter(MTPOF-SDF) is proposed. MTPOF-SDF can not only discriminate the true class patterns and the similar, symmetric, or patially included false ones but also recognize the diverse variations in true class patterns due to combinatorial form as the same ones. And scale and rotation-invariant recognition is achieved. To preserve the features of the characters, phase information should be used. And to contsrol phase information easily, ternary quantization of the phase is preferred. Also low resolution requirement is achieved for compatibility with low resulution devices such as spatial light modulators.
