Directional Pattern Matching for Character Recognition Revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
Directional features have been successfully used for the recognition of both machine-printed and handwritten Kanji characters for the last decade. This paper attempts to explain why the directional features are effective. First, the advances of directional features and related methods are briefly reviewed. Then the properties that the similarity measure should hold are discussed and simulation experiments of directional pattern matching are conducted to validate the properties. This analysis is expected to inspire the design of new and more effective features.

Local Derivative Pattern with Smart Thresholding: Local Composition Derivative Pattern for Palmprint Matching
Palmprint recognition is a new biometrics system based on physiological characteristics of the palmprint, which includes rich, stable, and unique features such as lines, points, and texture. Texture is one of the most important features extracted from low resolution images. In this paper, a new local descriptor, Local Composition Derivative Pattern (LCDP) is proposed to extract smartly stronger...

متن کاملText Search from Handwritten Digital Ink Using Directional Features
This paper describes a method of retrieving handwritten text using directional features. Text search from handwritten digital ink employing character recognition technology has been developed. However, the character recognition based approach does not support languages which are not assumed. To address this problem, the proposed method was devised to hypothetically segment text into character s...
متن کاملAutomatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
متن کاملOptical recognition of handwritten Chinese characters by hierarchical radical matching method
In this paper, a radical-based OCR system for the recognition of handwritten Chinese characters is proposed. In our approach, a recursive hierarchical scheme is developed to perform radical extraction "rst. Character features and radical features are then extracted for matching. Last, a hierarchical radical matching scheme is devised to identify the radicals embedded in an input Chinese charact...
