Research Abstract

This research was to provide intelligent information retrieval for historical mokkan digital archives. We had implemented a character pattern retrieval technology for damaged and unreadable character patterns by combining the technologies of pattern recognition, image processing and pen-based user interface. Also, we had developed and provided software "Mokkanshop" to support reading the historical mokkans. This software is now working with our digital archive of the historical mokkan to provide useful information for the users.
