Q2. What are the two fields on a cheque that can be processed with near perfect accuracy?
The only two fields on a cheque that can be processed automatically with nearperfect accuracy by character recognition systems are the account number and the bank code as they are printed in magnetic ink.
Q3. What are the main problems that have to be solved in order to produce a successful cheque processing?
In order to produce a successful cheque processing system, many sub-problems have to be solved such as background and noise removal, recognition of the immense styles of handwriting and signatures, touching and overlapping data in various fields of information and errors in the recognition techniques [3].
Q4. What is the function that is used to defuzzify the response of the current pixel?
The cumulative response of the current pixel is given the weighted sum method which is defined by the expression:==⋅ = nj nj jjiixi iy11)()()( )(µ
Q5. What is the main drawback of a manual cheque recognition system?
Even if misclassification occurs, the mistake could potentially be detected during the recognition process; however it is more desirable that the system rejects a cheque in case of doubt so that it can be directed to manual processing from the beginning.
Q6. What is the main drawback of a manual read?
Since employeesalso make mistakes reading or typing the amount of the cheques, a single manual read rarely drives the whole process.
Q7. What is the approach for determining the shape of a histogram?
One approach for improving the shape of histograms is to consider only those pixels that lie on ornear the boundary between objects and the background.
Q8. What is the main drawback of the bank cheque recognition system?
Another main drawback of these systems is that, for each filled bank cheque, the recognition system has to maintain an unused bank cheque image sample requiring, therefore, a large memory size for each bank cheque.
Q9. What is the purpose of the automatic processing of a bank cheque?
The automatic processing of a bank cheque involves extraction and recognition of handwritten or user entered information from different data fields on the cheque such as courtesy amount, legal amount, date,payee and signature [3].
Q10. What is the purpose of automatic bank cheque processing systems?
Automatic bank cheque processing systems are hence needed not only to counter the growing cheque fraud menace but also to improve productivity and allow for advanced customer services.
Q11. What is the important step in the pre-processing of bank cheques?
This involves background elimination and baseline removal techniques to maintain the physical integrity of the rest of the cheque image information.
Q12. What is the method used to determine the fractional dimensions of the data fields?
the authors used the ‘Differential Box Counting’ (DBC) method proposed by Choudhari & Sarkar [7] to calculate the fractional dimensions of the data fields.
