Brief Description:
One of the most difficult problems in OCR is dealing with
different glyphs that touch each other or damaged glyphs.
While we can get very high recognition for individual glyphs,
when two glyphs actually touch, or due to printing problems, a
single glyph is broken into two separate components, character
recognition rates drop significantly. This project is to
explore this problem, implement and evaluate some standard
approaches described in the literature, and design and develop
new algorithms based on what you have learned.
