Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In the project “The Development of Anglo-Saxon Language and Linguistic Universals” (organized by Senshu University, Japan), an OCR system for medieval English manuscripts is developed. One of the difficulty for the development is the variability of character shapes by rough paper surface, heavy/light print, degradation on binarization, etc. Another difficulty is that each manuscript has its own character shape and thus we must prepare document-specific reference patterns through a manual labeling process on 5 or 10 or more pages. Using 100 pages of ground-truthed “Pierce Plowman”(printed in 1550), recognition performance was observed under different numbers of labeled pages. The effect of active shape model for compensating character shape variation was also observed.
