Elastic Structural Matching for Recognizing On-line Handwritten Alphanumeric Characters

چکیده
Speed, accuracy, and exibility are crucial to the practical use of on-line handwriting recognition. Besides, extensibility is also an important concern as we move from one domain to another which requires the character set to be extended. In this paper, we will propose a simple yet robust structural approach for recognizing on-line handwriting. Our approach is designed to achieve reasonable speed, fairly high accuracy and suucient tolerance to variations. At the same time, it maintains a high degree of reusability and hence facilitates extensibility. Experimental results show that the recognition rates are 98.60% for digits, 98.49% for uppercase letters, 97.44% for lowercase letters, and 97.40% for the combined set. When the rejected cases are excluded from the calculation, the rates can be increased to 99.93%, 99.53%, 98.55% and 98.07%, respectively. On the average, the recognition speed is about 7.5 characters per second running in Prolog on a Sun SPARC 10 Unix workstation and the memory requirement is reasonably low. With this simple yet robust structural approach, we already have an eeective and eecient on-line character recognition module. This module will be used as part of a larger system, a pen-based mathematical equation editor, which is being developed by the authors using a syntactical pattern recognition approach.

متن کاملOptical Character Recognition from Text Image
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a system that provides a full alphanumeric recognition of printed or handwritten characters by simply scanning the text image. OCR system interprets the printed or handwritten characters image and converts it into corresponding editable text document. The text image is divided into regions by isolating each line, then individual characters with spaces. Aft...
متن کاملOn-line handwritten alphanumeric character recognition using dominant points in strokes
All alphanumeric characters can be written in certain styles with strokes of di erent shapes and positions. An on-line handwritten character written on a digitizing tablet is represented as a sequence of strokes, which are the loci of the pen tip from its pen-down to pen-up positions. In this paper, we present an approach to on-line handwritten alphanumeric character recognition based on sequen...

In this paper, we present a novel method for recognition of unconstrained handwritten Arabic alphanumeric characters. The algorithm binarizes the character image, smoothes it and extracts its contour. A novel approach for polygonal approximation of handwritten character contours is applied. The directions and length features are extracted from the polygonal approximation. These features are use...
