Feature sets evaluation for handwritten word recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a baseline system used to evaluate feature sets for word recognition. The main goal is to determine an optimum feature set to represent the handwritten names for the months of the year in Brazilian Portuguese language. Three kinds of features are evaluated: perceptual, directional and topological. The evaluation shows that taken in isolation, the perceptual feature set produces the best results for the lexicon used. These results can be further improved combining the feature sets. The baseline system developed obtains an average recognition rate of 87%. This can be considered a good result considering that no explicit segmentation is performed.

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...

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 کاملComparison of Two Different Feature Sets for Offline Recognition of Handwritten Arabic Words
Normalization is a very important step in automatic cursive handwritten word recognition. Based on an offline recognition system for Arabic handwritten words which uses a semi-continuous 1-dimensional HMM recognizer two different feature sets are presented. The dependencies of the feature sets from normalization steps is discussed and their performances are compared using the IFN/ENIT database ...
