Fusion of Segmentation Strategies for Off-Line Cursive Handwriting Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cursive handwriting recognition is a challenging task for many real-world applications such as document authentication, form processing, postal address recognition, reading machines for the blind, bank check recognition, and interpretation of historical documents. Therefore, in the last few decades, researchers have put an enormous effort into developing various techniques for handwriting recognition. This chapter reviews existing handwriting recognition techniques and presents the current state of the art in cursive handwriting recognition. The chapter also presents segmentation strategies and a segmentation-based approach for automated recognition of unconstrained cursive handwriting. The chapter provides a comprehensive literature review with basic and advanced techniques and research results in handwriting recognition for graduate students as well as for advanced researchers.

متن کاملOff-line Cursive Handwritten Word Segmentation, A new approach
The segmentation of off-line cursive handwritten word is an important step in cursive handwriting recognition. In this paper a new, simple yet effective approach is proposed. Proposed technique is based on the analysis of the ligatures of the characters in the cursive word. The only preprocessing is to skeleton the word to allow variations in pen thickness and tilt in writing. There is no const...
متن کاملOff-line cursive handwriting recognition using synthetic training data
The objective of this thesis is to investigate the generation and use of synthetic training data for off-line cursive handwriting recognition. It has been shown in many works before that the size and quality of the training data has a great impact on the performance of handwriting recognition systems. A general observation is that the more texts are used for training, the better recognition per...
متن کاملOff-line cursive handwriting recognition compared with on-line recognition
Off-line handwriting recognition has wider applications than on-line recognition, yet it seems to be a harder problem. While on-line recognition is based on pen trajectory data, off-line recognition has to rely on pixel data only. We present a comparison between an off-line and an on-line recognition system using the same databases and system design. Both systems use a sliding window technique ...
متن کاملChapter 0 Stroke - Based Cursive Character Recognition
In this chapter, we keep focusing on on-line writer independent cursive character recognition engine. In what follows, we explain the importance of on-line handwriting recognition over off-line, the necessity of writer independent system and the importance as well as scope of cursive scripts like Devanagari. Devanagari is considered as one of the known cursive scripts [20, 29]. However, we aim ...
