Comparison of Two Different Feature Sets for Offline Recognition of Handwritten Arabic Words
نویسندگان
چکیده
Normalization is a very important step in automatic cursive handwritten word recognition. Based on an offline recognition system for Arabic handwritten words which uses a semi-continuous 1-dimensional HMM recognizer two different feature sets are presented. The dependencies of the feature sets from normalization steps is discussed and their performances are compared using the IFN/ENIT database of handwritten Arabic words. As the lower and upper baseline of each word are part of the ground truth (GT) of the database, the dependency of the feature set from the accuracy of the estimated baseline is evaluated.

متن کاملHolistic 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...
