Rotation-robust math symbol recognition and retrieval using outer contours and image subsampling

چکیده
This paper presents an unified recognition and retrieval system for isolated offline printed mathematical symbols for the first time. The system is based on nearest neighbor scheme and uses modified Turning Function and Grid Features to calculate the distance between two symbols based on Sum of Squared Difference. An unwrap process and an alignment process are applied to modify Turning Function to deal with the horizontal and vertical shift caused by the changing of staring point and rotation. This modified Turning Function make our system robust against rotation of the symbol image. The system obtains top-1 recognition rate of 96.90% and 47.27% Area Under Curve (AUC) of precision/recall plot on the InftyCDB-3 dataset. Experiment result shows that the system with modified Turning Function performs significantly better than the system with original Turning Function on the rotated InftyCDB-3 dataset.

Contours Extraction Using Line Detection and Zernike Moment
Most of the contour detection methods suffers from some drawbacks such as noise, occlusion of objects, shifting, scaling and rotation of objects in image which they suppress the recognition accuracy. To solve the problem, this paper utilizes Zernike Moment (ZM) and Pseudo Zernike Moment (PZM) to extract object contour features in all situations such as rotation, scaling and shifting of object i...
متن کاملObject Recognition Robust under Translation, Rotation and Scaling in Application of Image Retrieval
We present object recognition algorithm robust under translation, rotation, scaling, local texture distortion and local geometrical deformation of an image. We first solve the problems in image database retrieval by transforming the image space into the Trace transform space. A robust feature from the Trace transform can be thought of as texture representations which can be used in an object re...
