Abstract
The paper first gives an overview on the technical advances in the field of character and document recognition, decade by decade. Then, it highlights key technical developments especially for Kanji (Chinese character) recognition in Japan. Technical issues around post address recognition are then discussed, which have promoted advanced techniques including information integration. Robustness design principles are introduced. Finally, future prospects are discussed.
