Abstract :
The paper describes a high performance offline system for recognizing hand printed numerals. An innovative verification module is applied which drastically improves the recognition rate. The approaches used in the modules are described. The importance of the verification module is analysed in detail. A practical automatic form reading system TOCR V1.0 was developed based on the algorithms. The system was put into practical use in several provinces of China for statistical analysis of Revenue China. Test results are given based on: 1) data collected when the system was used in China, as well as 2) the CENPARMI database
