Recognition and checkout of legal amounts on chinese bank cheques

A system for the recognition and checkout of legal amounts on Chinese bank cheques was presented in the paper. Firstly, pianpang recognizer was proposed to combine any pianpang into a neighbor segment. Then, the width model of characters was proposed to determine the predicted positions of split lines. Finally, an efficient state transfer model was proposed to conduct Subset-based recognition. Experiments had been performed on more than 4,000 cheques from China Construction Bank. The proposed system was shown to be effective and efficient. Without (with) the reference values, the correct checkout rate of the best segmentation can reach as high as 85.83% (91.02%).
