Slant normalization of handwritten numeral strings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two word slant correction methods are evaluated in this work using handwritten numeral strings. A method originally proposed to word slant correction is adapted in order to improve the results for handwritten numeral strings. The original and modified methods are evaluated by means of some interesting analyses on the NIST SD19 database. In these analyses the difference, in terms of slant estimated, between two slant correction techniques of isolated numerals extracted from strings, and the impact of slant correction on the number of overlapping numerals in the strings are evaluated. The results look promising.

Improvement in Handwritten Numeral String Recognition by Slant Normalization and Contextual Information
This work describes a way of enhancing handwritten numeral string recognition by considering slant normalization and contextual information to train an implicit segmentation-based system. A word slant normalization method is modified in order to improve the results for handwritten numeral strings. We assume that each connected component (CC) in the string has its own slant. The slant and contou...
متن کاملMulti-font Numerals Recognition for Urdu Script based Languages
Handwritten character recognition of Urdu script based languages is one of the most difficult task due to complexities of the script. Urdu script based languages has not received much attestation even this script is used more than 1/6th of the population. The complexities in the script makes more complicated the recognition process. The problem in handwritten numeral recognition is the shape si...
متن کاملA String Length Predictor to Control the Level Building of HMMs for Handwritten Numeral Recognition
In this paper a two-stage HMM-based method for recognizing handwritten numeral strings is extended to work with handwritten numeral strings of unknown length. We have proposed a Bayesian-based string length predictor (SLP) to estimate the number of digits in a string taking into account its width in pixels. The top 3 decisions of the SLP module are used to control the maximum number of levels t...
متن کاملNonuniform Slant Correction for Handwritten Word Recognition
Slant correction is a preprocessing technique to improve segmentation and recognition accuracy for handwritten word recognition. All conventional slant correction techniques were performed by the estimation of the average slant angle and the shear transformation. In this paper, a nonuniform slant correction technique for handwritten word recognition is proposed where the slant correction proble...
متن کاملA new normalization technique for cursive handwritten words
This paper presents new techniques for slant and slope removal in cursive handwritten words. Both methods require neither heuristics nor parameter tuning. This avoids the heavy experimental eort required to ®nd the optimal con-®guration of a parameter set. A comparison between the new deslanting technique and the method proposed by Bo-zinovic and Srihari was made by measuring the performance o...
