Abstract
Text recognition from images can substantially facilitate a wide range of applications. However, screen-rendered images pose great challenges to current methods due to its low resolution and low signal to noise ratio properties. This paper proposed a Chinese characters recognition model using inception module based convolutional neural networks. Chinese characters were firstly extracted using vertical projection and error correction; then it can be recognized via inception module based convolutional neural networks. The proposed model can effectively segment Chinese characters from screen-rendered images, and significantly reduce the training time. Extensive experiments have been conducted on a number of screen-rendered images to evaluate the performance of the proposed model against state-of-the-art models.
