Abstract

Scene character recognition is challenging and difficult owing to various environmental factors at image capturing and complex design of characters. Japanese character recognition requires a large number of scene character images for training since thousands of character classes exist in the language. In order to enhance the Japanese scene character recognition, we utilized a data augmentation method and an ensemble scheme in our previous work. In this paper, Random Image Feature (RI-Feature) method is newly proposed for improving the ensemble learning. Experimental results show that the accuracy has been improved from 65.57% to 78.50% by adding the RI-Feature method to the ensemble learning. It is also shown that HOG feature outperforms CNN in the Japanese scene character recognition.
