Research on Chinese character recognition post-processing based on genetic algorithm

Abstract

In order to improve the accuracy of a character recognition system, especially to improve recognition rate, it is positively significant to introduce an excellent post-processing method. A Chinese character recognition post-processing (CCRP) based on genetic algorithm is introduced in this paper. The genetic algorithm relies on the Chinese character itself and context information. Experiment shows that this method obtains quite good result. The character recognition rate of the tested text is from 94.99% to 95.92% after post-processing and improves 0.93%.
