Abstract
While a multitude of template matching strategies have been applied
to printed text recognition, the variation seen in handprinted characters
generally reduces the usefulness of this technique. What is suggested
in this paper is the use of scalable vector templates, which can be used
to generate a template with the same scale and line width attributes as
an arbitrary input character image. The best match is the template
having the smallest total distance between black pixels. Multiple
templates are used for each character, and digits only are used
as a sample data set.
