Feature Selection for On-Line Handwriting Recognition of Whiteboard Notes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe feature selection experiments for on-line handwriting recognition. We performed a sequential forward search through a 25 elements set of on-line and pseudo-off-line features. In our experiments we obtained interesting results. Using a set of only five features, we achieved a performance that is similar that of the reference system that uses all features. The best subset, which consists of 16 features, could outperform the reference system.

Handwriting Recognition of Whiteboard Notes - Studying the Influence of Training Set Size and Type
This paper presents a system for the recognition of on-line whiteboard notes. Notes written on a whiteboard is a new modality in handwriting recognition research that has received relatively little attention in the past. For the recognition we use an offline HMM-recognizer, which is supplemented with methods for processing the on-line data and generating off-line images. The system consists of ...

متن کاملHMM-Based On-Line Recognition of Handwritten Whiteboard Notes
In this paper we present an on-line recognition system for handwritten texts acquired from a whiteboard. This input modality has received relatively little attention in the handwriting recognition community in the past. The system proposed in this paper uses state-of-the-art normalization and feature extraction strategies to transform a handwritten text line into a sequence of feature vectors. ...
متن کاملPCA in On-Line Handwriting Recognition of Whiteboard Notes: A Novel VQ Design for Use with Discrete HMMs
In this work we further evaluate a recently published, novel vector quantization (VQ) design for discrete HMM-based on-line handwriting recognition of whiteboard notes. To decorrelate the features, a principal component analysis (PCA) is applied. The novel VQ design ensures a lossless representation of the pressure information while modeling the statistical dependencies between the pressure and...
متن کاملDiscrete Single Vs. Multiple Stream HMMs: A Comparative Evaluation of Their Use in On-Line Handwriting Recognition of Whiteboard Notes
In this paper we study the influence of quantization on the features used in on-line handwriting recognition in order to apply discrete single and multiple stream HMMs. It turns out that the separation of the features in statisticaly independent streams influences the performance of the recognition system: using the discrete “pressure” feature as an example, we show that the statistical depende...
