چکیده

This paper brings a contribution to the problem of efficiently recognizing handwritten words from a limited size lexicon. For that, a multiple classifier system has been developed that analyzes the words from three different approximation levels, in order to get a computational approach inspired on the human reading process. For each approximation level a three-module architecture composed of a zoning mechanism (pseudo-segmenter), a feature extractor and a classifier is defined. The proposed application is the recognition of the Portuguese handwritten names of the months, for which a best recognition rate of 97.7% was obtained, using classifier combination.

Mixture of Experts for Persian handwritten word recognition

This paper presents the results of Persian handwritten word recognition based on Mixture of Experts technique. In the basic form of ME the problem space is automatically divided into several subspaces for the experts, and the outputs of experts are combined by a gating network. In our proposed model, we used Mixture of Experts Multi Layered Perceptrons with Momentum term, in the classification ...

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...

Connected 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-...

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...

Exploiting Collection Level for Improving Assisted Handwritten Words Transcription of Historical Documents

Transcription of handwritten words in historical documents is still a difficult task. When processing huge amount of pages, document centered approaches are limited by the trade-off between automatic recognition errors and the tedious aspect of human user annotation work. In this article, we investigate the use of inter page dependencies to overcome those limitations. For this, we propose a new...
