Handwritten Character Recognition using the Continuous Distance Transformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a feature extraction method for images is presented. It is based on the classical concept of Distance Transformation (DT) from which we develop a generalization: the Continuos Distance Transformation (CDT). Whereas the DT can only be applied to binary images, the CDT can be applied to both binary and gray-scale or color pictures. Furthermore, we define a number of new metrics and dissimilarity measures

متن کاملHandwritten Character Recognition using Monotonic and Continuous Two-dimensional Warping
In this paper, a handwritten character recognition experiment using a monotonic and continuous twodimensional warping algorithm is reported. This warping algorithm is based on dynamic programming and searches for the optimal pixel-to-pixel mapping between given two images subject to two-dimensional monotonicity and continuity constraints. Experimental comparisons with rigid matching and local p...
