Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily detect a character to be confirmed by detecting a line mark by providing horizontal rod-like line marks allowed to protrude to the same height as the protruding height of the character of the line to be read through an OCR positioned on the left and right sides of the line to be read on a horizontal axis almost half the size of the character of the line to be read in the longitudinal direction thereof. CONSTITUTION:The stamping positions of line marks 1 are set before and behind the character row 2 to be read through an OCR and provided on a horizontal axis almost half the size of a character in the longitudinal direction thereof and the size of each of the line marks and the distance from the character row thereof are set freely. This card is used as OCR reading paper and the confirmation processing of the character is performed by detecting the transfer line marks 3 provided at both ends of a transfer character row 4 to enhance a confirmation rate.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to an embossed card.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the embossed card itself or the paper on which the characters on the embossed card have been transferred were not made with the purpose of recognizing it using OCR, so depending on the quality of the transfer to the paper and the accuracy of the transfer position, There is a big difference in the recognition rate of OCR.

Conventionally, when attempting to recognize transferred characters on an embossed card using OCR, a human being carefully performed the transfer work in order to ensure that the transfer quality and transfer position accuracy met OCR standards.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, the conventional embossed card described above is
If the embossed characters are read using embossed characters, there is a drawback that the OCR recognition results vary greatly depending on the embossed transcription quality and transcription accuracy.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention is an OCR that serves as a transfer source when reading transferred characters on paper onto which embossed card characters have been transferred.
In an embossed card for OCR, the characters on the line to be read are located on the horizontal axis that is approximately half the vertical size of the characters in the line to be read, and are located on the left and right sides with the line to be read as the center. It is characterized by having a horizontal bar-shaped line mark raised to a height.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of one embodiment of the present invention. Line mark 1 is engraved on this embossed card. The marking position is on the horizontal axis of 1/2 of the vertical size of the character, before and after the character string 2 to be read by OCR,
Its size and distance from the 2-character string are arbitrary.

Figure 2 shows a sheet of paper onto which the embossed card shown in Figure 1 has been transferred.This is used as OCR reading paper, and character recognition processing is performed by searching for the transcription line marks 3 at both ends of the transcription character string 4, thereby increasing the recognition rate. This will result in an improvement.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has an engraved character string, so that the paper on which the embossed card is transferred can be
By reading with CR, it is possible to easily search for characters to be recognized by detecting line marks, whereas conventionally the OCR recognition rate was reduced due to poor transcription position, and it is possible to easily search for characters to be recognized in the character extraction process. , character cutout correction information (
Since the information (tilt information) can be easily extracted, the OCR character recognition rate is improved.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a sheet of paper onto which the embossed card of FIG. 1 has been transferred. 1... line mark, 2... character string, 3... transcription line mark, 4... transcription character string.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In the embossed card for OCR, which is the source of the transfer when reading the transferred characters on the paper on which the embossed card characters have been transferred with OCR, the horizontal axis is approximately half the vertical size of the character in the line to be read by OCR. An embossed card characterized by comprising, on the top thereof, horizontal bar-shaped line marks raised to the same height as the raised character height of the line to be read, located on the left and right sides with the line to be read in the center.
