A Study on Top-down Word Image Generation for Handwritten Word Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a top-down word image generation model for holistic handwritten word recognition. To generate a word image, it uses likelihoods based, respectively, on a linguistic model, a segmentation model, and a character generation model. In the recognition process with respect to a given input image, it first generates, for each word in a dictionary of possible words, a word image that approximates as closely as possible the input image. The model next calculates distance values between each generated word image and the input image and selects for recognition that generated word image having the smallest distance value. The proposed method has been evaluated in an experiment using handwritten word images, and results show it to be effective for use in handwritten word image recognition. keyword: holistic handwritten word recognition, word image generation model, level-building-like dynamic programming

Connected Component Based Word Spotting on Persian Handwritten image documents
Word spotting is to make searchable unindexed image documents by locating word/words in a doc-ument image, given a query word. This problem is challenging, mainly due to the large numberof word classes with very small inter-class and substantial intra-class distances. In this paper, asegmentation-based word spotting method is presented for multi-writer Persian handwritten doc-...
متن کاملHolistic Farsi handwritten word recognition using gradient features
In this paper we address the issue of recognizing Farsi handwritten words. Two types of gradient features are extracted from a sliding vertical stripe which sweeps across a word image. These are directional and intensity gradient features. The feature vector extracted from each stripe is then coded using the Self Organizing Map (SOM). In this method each word is modeled using the discrete Hidde...

This paper presented a two step method for offline handwritten Farsi word recognition. In first step, in order to improve the recognition accuracy and speed, an algorithm proposed for initial eliminating lexicon entries unlikely to match the input image. For lexicon reduction, the words of lexicon are clustered using ISOCLUS and Hierarchal clustering algorithm. Clustering is based on the featur...
متن کاملMixture of Experts for Persian handwritten word recognition
This paper presents the results of Persian handwritten word recognition based on Mixture of Experts technique. In the basic form of ME the problem space is automatically divided into several subspaces for the experts, and the outputs of experts are combined by a gating network. In our proposed model, we used Mixture of Experts Multi Layered Perceptrons with Momentum term, in the classification ...
متن کاملInterpreting chicken-scratch: lexical access for handwritten words.
Handwritten word recognition is a field of study that has largely been neglected in the psychological literature, despite its prevalence in society. Whereas studies of spoken word recognition almost exclusively employ natural, human voices as stimuli, studies of visual word recognition use synthetic typefaces, thus simplifying the process of word recognition. The current study examined the effe...
