<p><b>Abstract</b>—This correspondence describes an approach to reducing the computational cost of document image decoding by viewing it as a heuristic search problem. The kernel of the approach is a modified dynamic programming (DP) algorithm, called the <it>iterated complete path</it> (ICP) algorithm, that is intended for use with separable source models. A set of heuristic functions are presented for decoding formatted text with ICP. Speedups of 3-25 over DP have been observed when decoding text columns and telephone yellow pages using ICP and the proposed heuristics.</p>
