Abstract
We describe a method for automated reading of character strings occurr ing on scanned topographic maps. This method takes into account the or iented strings that are frequent on maps. We describe the whole applic ation but we emphasize the connected components analysis module and, e specially, its rotation-invariant recognition aspect. Results seem goo d enough for industrial application with our kind of maps (i.e. regula r base map for France).
