The use of eigenpictures for optical character recognition

- Summary

Abstract

We show that the ideas behind the eigenface technique can be easily extended to the OCR problem by using multiple image classes. In addition, we also describe a modification to the standard Euclidean distance measure used for recognition which gives very good results in this context.
