Training neural networks for reading handwritten amounts on checks
نویسندگان
چکیده
While reading handwritten text accurately is a difficult task for computers, the conversion of handwritten papers into digital format is necessary for automatic processing. Since most bank checks are handwritten, the number of checks is very high, and manual processing involves significant expenses, many banks are interested in systems that can read check automatically. This paper presents several approaches to improve the accuracy of neural networks used to read unconstrained numerals in the courtesy amount field of bank checks.

Recognizing Handwritten Amounts from Brazilian Checks
This paper discusses automated reading and processing of Brazilian bank checks. It highlights the main characteristics of Brazilian checks and the variety of writing styles that makes recognition more difficult than in countries where handwriting amounts are more uniform. Neural networks are used to recognize isolated digits obtained after segmentation. One set of neural networks was trained wi...
