1. A method for generating a degraded dictionary, comprising:
generating a plurality of degraded patterns from an original character image, based on a plurality of degradation parameters;
establishing a plurality of degraded dictionaries which correspond to the plurality of degradation parameters, respectively, by extracting features of the degraded patterns; and
selecting one of the plurality of dictionaries, which matches the degradation level of a test sample set best, as a final degraded dictionary.
