Didier Guillevic Ching Y. Suen CENPARMI, Suite GM-606 Concordia University Montr eal, QC, H3G 1M8 Contact: [email protected] Abstract We describe a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based word recognition engine currently being developed to be integrated with the CENPARMI Bank Cheque Processing System. The various modules are described in detail, and preliminary results are compared with our previous global feature recognition scheme. The engine is tested on words from a database of over 4; 500 cheques of 1; 400 writers.

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...
متن کاملUnconstrained Farsi handwritten word recognition using fuzzy vector quantization and hidden Markov models
An unconstrained Farsi handwritten word recognition system based on fuzzy vector quantization (FVQ) and hidden Markov model (HMM) for reading city names in postal addresses is presented. Preprocessing techniques including binarization, noise removal, slope correction and baseline estimation are described. Each word image is represented by its contour information. The histogram of chain code slo...
متن کاملA four layer sharing HMM system for very large vocabulary isolated word recognition
This paper reports on a large vocabulary speaker independent isolated word recognizer targeting 50,000 words. The system supports a unique four-layer sharing structure for either continuous HMM or discrete HMM. Evaluation is performed using a dictionary of 5000 US city names, a dictionary of the 5000 English most frequent words, a dictionary of 50,000 English words, and the 110,000 word CMU Eng...
متن کاملPresentation of K Nearest Neighbor Gaussian Interpolation and comparing it with Fuzzy Interpolation in Speech Recognition
Hidden Markov Model is a popular statisical method that is used in continious and discrete speech recognition. The probability density function of observation vectors in each state is estimated with discrete density or continious density modeling. The performance (in correct word recognition rate) of continious density is higher than discrete density HMM, but its computation complexity is very ...
متن کاملFarsi Handwritten Word Recognition Using Discrete HMM and Self- Organizing Feature Map
A holistic system for the recognition of handwritten Farsi/Arabic words using right-left discrete hidden Markov models (HMM) and Kohonen self-organizing vector quantization(SOFM/VQ) for reading city names in postal addresses is presented. Pre-processing techniques including binarization, noise removal and besieged in a circumferential rectangular are described. Each word image is scanned form r...
