The invention provides a multi-classifier integration-based image 
character recognition method. The method comprises the following steps of: converting a 
colored to-be-identified image into a 
grayscale image; carrying out binary 
processing on the 
grayscale image and segmenting an image region with character information; segmenting each Chinese character from a whole character image; extracting grid features and direction features of each Chinese character; selecting 
stroke density total length features to carry out first-layer rough classification by adoption of a 
minimum distance classifier; and respectively selecting 
peripheral features, the grid features and the direction features to complete second-layer classification matching by adoption of a nearest-neighbor classifier. The method has the advantages that the 
character recognition has relatively strong anti-jamming capability and relatively strong character 
local structure description capability, and is less influenced by 
stroke widths; by adoption of a classifier integration technology of complementing and combining the 
minimum distance classifier and the nearest-neighbor classifier, a 
system is more reliable; and the characters can be intelligently recognized, so that the adaptability of the 
system is improved and the recognition rate is high.
