BALLOT READING DEVICE AND READING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012027877
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a ballot reading device and reading method that permit accurate reading of a circle sign entered in a not completely blank space (namely a space in which a prescribed item is printed).
Imaging means 175 or 176 generates picture information 175 or 176 that represents the writable face of a ballot 3. Information processing means 4 in a learning mode determines a masked area 50 by expanding colored dots 41 representing a color in the picture information. The information processing means 4 in a determination mode determines an expansion line 304c by expanding an out-of-mask entry line 304a, which is a part other than the masked area 50 in an entry line 304, and determines whether or not the expansion line 304c forms a closed ring.
