چکیده
CURSIVE WORDS TAL STEINHERZ, NATHAN INTRATOR Tel-Aviv University Ramat Aviv 69978, Israel (talstz,nin)@math.tau.ac.il EHUD RIVLIN Department of Computer Science Technion Haifa 32000, Israel [email protected] We present a novel approach for nding a pseudo-skeleton of a cursive word's image. This pseudo-skeleton preserves all the necessary components of a cursive word such as: loops, curves, junctions, end-points etc. It is expected to be useful for cursive word recognition.

Implementation and Advanced Results on the Non-interrupted Skeletonization Algorithm
This paper is a continuation to the work in [1], in which a new algorithm for skeletonization is introduced. The algorithm given there and implemented for script and text is applied here on images like pictures, medical organs and signatures. This is very important for a lot of applications in pattern recognition, like, for example, data compression, transmission or saving. Some interesting res...
متن کاملCombination of multiple classifiers for handwritten word recognition
Because of large shape variations in human handwriting, recognition accuracy of cursive handwritten word is hardly satisfying using a single classifier. In this paper we introduce a framework to combine results of multiple classifiers and present an intuitive run-time weighted opinion pool (RWOP) combination approach for recognizing cursive handwritten words with a large size vocabulary. The in...
متن کاملAutomatic Segmentation for Arabic Character Handwriting
The cursive and ligature nature of the Arabic language make the segmentation of words into individual characters a difficult task. Despite attempts to apply methods for cursive Latin and other languages to Arabic, it is generally insufficient to segment Arabic text. This paper proposes a new segmentation algorithm for handwritten Arabic text and the main idea consist of segmenting the word into...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method For Online Cursive Handwriting Strokes Reordering
In the framework of online cursive handwriting recognition, we present an efficient method for reordering the sequence of strokes composing handwriting in two special cases of interest: the horizontal bar of the character “t” and the dot of the character “i”. The proposed method exploits shape information for selecting the strokes that most likely correspond to the features of interest, and lay...
متن کاملThe segmentation of cursive handwriting: an approach based on off-line recovery of the motor-temporal information
This paper presents a segmentation method that partly mimics the cognitive-behavioral process used by human subjects to recover motor-temporal information from the image of a handwritten word. The approach does not exploit any thinning or skeletonization procedure, but rather a different type of information is manipulated concerning the curvature function of the word contour. In this way, it is...
