11. A system to identify characters in an image, the system comprising: an image capturing device configured to receive the image; a memory configured to store processor-executable instructions; and a processor operatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: analyze the received image to detect a region of interest of the received image; compare, relative to the detected region of interest, a first portion of the received image to a set of patterns to determine a first coincidence value for each pattern in the set of patterns; generate a first series of hypotheses based at least on the determined first coincidence values; compare a second portion of the received image to a set of selected patterns to determine a second coincidence value for each pattern in the set of selected patterns, wherein the set of selected patterns is selected based at least on the generated first series of hypotheses; generate a second series of hypotheses based at least on the determined second coincidence values; and recognize the characters in the received image based at least on the first series of hypotheses and the second series of hypotheses.

The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to convert the received image to a binarized image.
