A New Method for Rotation Free Online Unconstrained Handwritten Chinese Word Recognition: A Holistic Approach

چکیده
Most online handwriting word recognition (HWR) approaches proceed by segmenting words into isolate characters which are recognized separately. Inspired by results in cognitive psychology, holistic word recognition approaches provides another effective way to deal the problem of HWR. In this paper, we propose a new method for rotation free online unconstrained Chinese word recognition through a holistic approach. By a gravity center balancing skew detection and correction method, the rotation ranging from 0° to 360° of a Chinese handwritten word can be detected. Through the process of preprocessing, feature extraction using elastic meshing technique and classification, the handwritten words with characters even connected or partially overlapped can be recognized through a holistic approach. Experiments were performed on 8888 categories of 1,137,664 unconstrained handwritten Chinese word samples. Experimental results for randomly rotated unconstrained cursive handwritten Chinese word data demonstrated that the proposed method can achieve about 96.58% recognition accuracy.

Holistic 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...
متن کاملA Handwritten Chinese Address Recognition Method Using Recursive Holistic Word Matching and Edit Distance Based Verification Strategies
With extensive applications in many domains, e.g., in postal address recognition, bank cheque recognition etc, Handwritten Chinese Address Recognition (HCAR) has attracted much interest recently. However, due to the large number in Chinese characters categories, irregular distortion and touching in handwriting, and high variations in writing styles, this task presents a big challenge in the com...
متن کاملA Hybrid Handwritten Chinese Address Recognition Approach
Handwritten Chinese Address Recognition describes a difficult yet important pattern recognition task. There are three difficulties in this problem: (1) Handwritten address is often of free styles and of high variations, resulting in inevitable segmentation errors. (2) The number of Chinese characters is large, leading low recognition rate for single Chinese characters. (3) Chinese address is us...

ÐIn this paper, we describe a system for rapid verification of unconstrained off-line handwritten phrases using perceptual holistic features of the handwritten phrase image. The system is used to verify handwritten street names automatically extracted from live U.S. mail against recognition results of analytical classifiers. Presented with a binary image of a street name and an ASCII street nam...

We propose a new method for o!-line recognition of unconstrained handwritten words consisting of Korean and numeric characters. To overcome the di$culty in separating touching characters, we adopt an over-segmentation strategy. Given a slice of the input word image, we "nd the optimal segment combination using a lexicon-driven word scoring technique and a nearest-neighbor classi"er. The optimal...
