Bilan Zhu and Masaki Nakagawa Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, 2-24-16 Naka-cho, Koganei, Tokyo 184-8588, Japan E-mail: {zhubilan, nakagawa}@cc.tuat.ac.jp Abstract This paper describes a method of producing segmentation point candidates for on-line handwritten Japanese text by a support vector machine (SVM) to improve text recognition. This method extracts multi-dimensional features from on-line strokes of handwritten text and applies the SVM to the extracted features to produces segmentation point candidates. This paper also shows the details of generating segmentation point candidates in order to achieve high discrimination rate by finding the optimal combination of the segmentation threshold and the concatenation threshold. We compare the method for segmentation by the SVM with that by a neural network (NN) and show the result that the method by the SVM bring about a better segmentation rate and character recognition rate.

متن کاملAn On-line Handwritten Japanese Text Recognition System Free from Line Direction and Character Orientation Constraints
This paper describes an on-line handwritten Japanese text recognition system that is liberated from constraints on line direction and character orientation. The recognition system first separates freely written text into text line elements, second estimates the line direction and character orientation using the time sequence information of pen-tip coordinates, third hypothetically segment it in...

متن کاملVirtual Example Synthesis Based on PCA for Off-Line Handwritten Character Recognition
This paper proposes a method to improve off-line character classifiers learned from examples using virtual examples synthesized from an on-line character database. To obtain good classifiers, a large database which contains a large enough number of variations of handwritten characters is usually required. However, in practice, collecting enough data is time-consuming and costly. In this paper, ...
