Recognition of Handwritten Dates on Bank Checks using an HMM Approach

چکیده
This article presents the first results of our system applied to recognize automatically the handwritten dates on Brazilian bankchecks. Considering the omni-writer context, we detail here our recognition module dedicated to process the month field. This module is based on the combination of holistic and analytical approaches with a fixed lexicon. Both approaches operate with a single explicit segmentation technique to provide a grapheme sequence for the purposed Hidden Markov Models of each recognizer. We show the significative improvements in combining both modules to get a satisfactory recognition rate considering the small database images we work with. Finally, we present various perspectives for our future works.

An HMM-MLP Hybrid System to Recognize Handwritten Dates
This paper presents an HMM-MLP hybrid system to process complex date images written on Brazilian bank cheques. The system first segments implicitly a date image into sub-fields through the recognition process based on an HMM approach. Afterwards, a recognition and verification strategy is proposed to recognize the three obligatory date sub-fields (day, month and year) using different classifier...

In order to facilitate the entry of data into the computer and its digitalization, automatic recognition of printed texts and manuscripts is one of the considerable aid to many applications. Research on automatic document recognition started decades ago with the recognition of isolated digits and letters, and today, due to advancements in machine learning methods, efforts are being made to iden...
متن کاملMorphological approach of handwritten word skew correction
The correction of handwritten word skew is an arduous task that must be independent of due to style and writing conditions variations. We propose here a morphology-based method to detect and correct handwritten word skew in the treatment of dates written on bank checks. Our aim is to limit the number of parameters and heuristic features necessary for a good skew correction. Our approach is base...
متن کاملBrazilian Bank Check Handwritten Legal Amount Recognition
This paper presents a system that is being developed for the recognition of the handwritten legal amount in Brazilian bank checks. Our strategy used to approach the handwritten legal amount recognition problem puts on evidence the key-words: "mil", "reais/real", "centavos/centavo" which are almost always present in each amount. The recognizer, based on Hidden Markov Models, does a global word a...
