1. A method for recognizing a character in a character recognizing apparatus, the method comprising: converting an input image into a binary image and discriminating between character regions each including at least one character and a non-character region that does not include a character; determining whether an invalid character region having a number of characters equal to or less than a threshold is present in the character regions and classifying the invalid character region into a non-character region; and determining a verified character region by removing the invalid character region from the character regions and outputting the characters included in the verified character region, wherein discriminating between the character regions and the non-character region includes: enlarging each of the character regions to a pre-stored size, detecting an adjacent character region within a pre-stored distance of an enlarged character region, and if the adjacent character region is detected, connecting the adjacent character region with the enlarged character region to form a character region group.
