Integration of Contextual Information in Handwriting Recognition Systems

چکیده
This paper investigates different strategies allowing integration of contextual information during the feature extraction stage of a cursive handwriting HMM-based recognition system. First we propose to use linear discriminant analysis (LDA) in order to integrate the class information during feature set building. Secondly several zoning strategies are used to integrate local contextual information. Finally, a weighting technique is proposed in association with zoning with the aim of integrating handwriting style. Some experiments were carried out and the results show the interest of the proposed strategies.

N-Gram and N-Class Models for On line Handwriting Recognition
This paper highlights the interest of a language model in increasing the performances of on-line handwriting recognition systems. Models based on statistical approaches, trained on written corpora, have been investigated. Two kinds of models have been studied: ngram models and n-class models. In the latter case, the classes result either from a syntactic criteria or a contextual criteria. In or...
متن کاملA Hybrid NN/HMM Modeling Technique for Online Arabic Handwriting Recognition
In this work we propose a hybrid NN/HMM model for online Arabic handwriting recognition. The proposed system is based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and Multi Layer Perceptron Neural Networks (MLPNNs). The input signal is segmented to continuous strokes called segments based on the Beta-Elliptical strategy by inspecting the extremum points of the curvilinear velocity profile. A neural network t...

متن کاملPre - Processing the Dynamics of On - Line Handwriting Data
Most of the dynamic information present in an on-line handwriting signal is often ignored by on-line handwriting recognition systems. It is shown here that the dynamic information is complementary to the shape information and may be used to improve the accuracy of the recognition system.
