[alt.sources.wanted] Need help and source on OCR and Image recognition

dbien@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu (Daniel Bien) (12/08/90)

I am looking for examples of non-trained bitmap image recognition/OCR 
software.  My application will need to recognize a limited 
( < 20 ), set of symbols.  Proper orientation will be guaranteed,
however I need to be able to handle skewing and thinning.  I prefer
source examples in 'C' or Fortran, but I will be grateful for any help.

	Also, if anybody can recommend any good books, or has any experience
in this area, please email to me at the .sig below.

            Thanks
