Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a selecting unit that selects figures from a candidate figure group based on recognition values obtained through character recognition with respect to an input image, and a display control unit that performs control to display the figures selected by the selecting unit.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a selecting unit that selects figures from a candidate figure group based on recognition values obtained through character recognition with respect to an input image; and

a display control unit that performs control to display the figures selected by the selecting unit.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a segment extracting unit that extracts segments from the input image;

a correcting unit that corrects the segments extracted by the segment extracting unit; and

a candidate figure group generating unit that generates the candidate figure group based on the segments corrected by the correcting unit.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the segment extracting unit extracts the segments from the input image through a Hough transform.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising:

a measuring unit that measures predetermined parameters as measurement values from the input image,

wherein the correcting unit corrects the segments extracted by the segment extracting unit based on the measurement values measured by the measuring unit.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2,

wherein the candidate figure group generating unit generates the candidate figure group through an affine transform based on the segments corrected by the correcting unit.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a recognizing unit that acquires the recognition values from the input image through the character recognition.

7. A program for causing a computer to function as an information processing apparatus including

a selecting unit that selects figures from a candidate figure group based on recognition values obtained through character recognition with respect to an input image, and

a display control unit that performs control to display the figures selected by the selecting unit.

8. The program according to claim 7,

wherein the information processing apparatus further includes

a segment extracting unit that extracts segments from the input image,

a correcting unit that corrects the segments extracted by the segment extracting unit, and

a candidate figure group generating unit that generates the candidate figure group based on the segments corrected by the correcting unit.

9. The program according to claim 8,

wherein the segment extracting unit extracts the segments from the input image through a Hough transform.

10. The program according to claim 8,

wherein the information processing apparatus further includes a measuring unit that measures predetermined parameters as measurement values from the input image, and

wherein the correcting unit corrects the segments extracted by the segment extracting unit based on the measurement values measured by the measuring unit.

11. The program according to claim 8,

wherein the candidate figure group generating unit generates the candidate figure group through an affine transform based on the segments corrected by the correcting unit.

12. The program according to claim 7,

wherein the information processing apparatus further includes a recognizing unit that acquires the recognition values from the input image through the character recognition.

13. An information processing method comprising:

selecting figures from a candidate figure group based on recognition values obtained through character recognition with respect to an input image; and

performing control to display the selected figures.
