Word Spotting via Spatial Point
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a statistically based method for spotting target words in documents. The crux of the method is the representation of a word by a spatial (pla-nar) point process evolving on a regular lattice of coordinate pairs. This is accomplished by extracting the coordinate pairs, i.e. pixel locations, where the binary bitmap values of the word are non-zero. With this representation the word is completely determined by the spatial intensity function, i.e. the unnormalized spatial probability density function, associated with the extracted set of coordinate pairs. In this work, we use a nite number of moments of the intensity function to characterize the word. Location and scale invariance is obtained by transforming the coordinate pairs to have zero mean and unit variance. Finally, optimal detection strategies are applied to the moments to make the decision.

متن کاملWord Spotting and Character Recognition using Quadrant Density and Aspect Ratio
The desire to access, search and explore large amount of documents had paved the way for digitizing and storing the document in computer for easy access. But doing a word search (word spotting) in a scanned document is difficult, since the entire document is saved as an image. Different methods are already proposed which recognizes the characters from the scanned document and converts it into a...
متن کاملConnected 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 کاملQuerying Hebrew Texts via Word Spotting
We report on recent results with word-spotting (WS) in Hebrew historical texts, manuscript and printed. The advantage of such a retrieval system is that it works on images without any need for manual or computer transcription of the texts. The method allows for extremely rapid querying, while still maintaining high accuracy; thus, it should be considered as an important tool in historical textu...
