Hi,

I've just finished implementing an offline printed character
recognition scheme using templates.
I use very poor quality images, so I have to do some fancy
pre-processing, thresholding, and rotation, etc. before recognition.
My results are ok if I get a large enough training set for each
particular font.

I'd like to test out a bunch of alternative schemes. 
I've read a lot of papers about omni-font recognition using
feature extraction, and graph based recognition algorithms.

What I need is a really up to date book which goes into the details
associated with implementing this and other modern character recognition
schemes. There are a lot of commercial products out there presumably
using this type of technique for OMNIFONT recognition, so there's got
be a good text somewhere.

Please mail me about any good character recognition texts you know of.

Thanks.
