Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of reading numerical characters having strong variations in form, size and position. The method introduced here can describe the characters in invariant terms, with considerations of topological and morphological type. Therefore, it is called ``morphotopological method for character recognition'' and was applied to the construction of a very high performance reading machine.
