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;

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

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

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.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, 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.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

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.

4. 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.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a processor of computer causes the processor 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;

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

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

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.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 5,

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.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 5,

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.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 5,

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

9. An information processing method using at least one processor, comprising:

selecting figures from a candidate figure group based on recognition values obtained through character recognition with respect to an input image using the at least one processor;

performing control to display the selected figures using the at least one processor;

extracting segments from the input image through a Hough transform using the at least one processor;

correcting the segments extracted by the segment extracting unit using the at least one processor; and

generating the candidate figure group based on the segments corrected by the correcting unit using the at least one processor.

10. The information processing method according to claim 9, comprising:

measuring predetermined parameters as measurement values from the input image using the at least one processor, and

correcting the extracted segments based on the measured measurement values using the at least one processor.

11. The information processing method according to claim 9, comprising:

generating the candidate figure group through an affine transform based on the corrected segments using the at least one processor.

12. The information processing method according to claim 9, comprising:

acquiring the recognition values from the input image through the character recognition using the at least one processor.
