This paper proposes an experimental character recognition system to recognise place-names written on signboards. Recently, mobile phones with digital cameras and handy digital cameras have be come popular, so we think this system is useful. In experiments, we tested a total of 112 natural scene images with 320 characters. We obtained a correct character recognition rate of 99% and a place-name recognition rate of 98% (with a rejection rate 2%).
