Dot print – Used specifically for dot print character/numeral samples.
Dilation radius
Enlarges each dot to join them together into a character. Too high
number join all letters together into one. Too low number splits one letter
to two separate segments.
Dilation height
Enlarges the dots along the letter height direction. Thus, the diacritic
mark is connected to a corresponding letter.
Character width
Filters out all characters with different width or height.
Character height
Influences the minimum and maximum height of the dot/fragment.
There is a difference between dilation in Dot Print algorithm settings and in image filters.
Dot Print algorithm
The dilation parameter in Dot Print algorithm is used for proper segmentation of the
characters and does not affect the image sent to the reading algorithm.
Image filter
The dilation for image filter affects the highlighted pixels, and are sent to the algorithm.
