1. A device comprising:
- a data acquisition device configured to acquire character data comprising one or more characters, the one or more characters having a first contour and a second contour; and
a computing device configured to;
perform lateral view analysis on the character data, the lateral view analysis comprising locating characteristic points on the first and second contours, including dividing the one or more characters into segments of more than one size, wherein a characteristic point is located in each segment on the first contour and the second contour;
identify the one or more characters based on the lateral view analysis.

8. A device comprising:
-
a data acquisition device configured to acquire character data comprising one or more compound characters; and a computing device configured to; divide each of the one or more compound characters diagonally into two or more component characters, each of the two or more component characters having a first contour and a second contour; perform lateral view analysis on character data of the two or more component characters from the character data of the one or more compound characters, the lateral view analysis comprising locating characteristic points on the first and second contours of each of the two or more component characters, including dividing the two or more component characters into segments, wherein a characteristic point is located in each segment on the first contour and the second contour; identify the two or more component characters based on the lateral view analysis; and identify the one or more compound characters from the identified two or more component characters. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
