Distance-based classification of handwritten symbols

Weighted Symbols-Based Edit Distance for String-Structured Image Classification

As an alternative to vector representations, a recent trend in image classification suggests to integrate additional structural information in the description of images in order to enhance classification accuracy. Rather than being represented in a p-dimensional space, images can typically be encoded in the form of strings, trees or graphs and are usually compared either by computing suited met...

Handwritten mathematical symbols dataset

Due to the technological advances in recent years, paper scientific documents are used less and less. Thus, the trend in the scientific community to use digital documents has increased considerably. Among these documents, there are scientific documents and more specifically mathematics documents. In this context, we present our own dataset of handwritten mathematical symbols composed of 10,379 ...

On-line Recognition of Handwritten Mathematical Symbols

Finding the name of an unknown symbol is often hard, but writing the symbol is easy. This bachelor’s thesis presents multiple systems that use the pen trajectory to classify handwritten symbols. Five preprocessing steps, one data augmentation algorithm, five features and five variants for multilayer Perceptron training were evaluated using 166 898 recordings which were collected with two crowds...

Recognition of Online Handwritten Music Symbols

An effective way of digitizing a new musical composition is to use an e-pen and tablet application in which the user’s pen strokes are recognized online and the digital score is created with the sole effort of the composition itself. This work aims to be a starting point for research on the recognition of online handwritten music notation. To this end, different alternatives within the two moda...
