Abstract
We propose a new self-adaptive reading region location method on the basis of 8-neighborhood connectivity segmentation algorithm. Through the combination of a modified Stroke Width Transform (SWT) algorithm, morphology and gray ratio technology, we achieve a higher recognition rate (as high as 98%) and a lower error rate (as low as 1.42%) compared with other methods under the same experiment condition, Our work can be useful to the information transformation of existing mechanical meters due to its high recognition efficiency and economy.
