Hierarchical Segmentation and Recognition of Unconstrained Handprinted Digits
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use combinatorial optimisation to accumulate strokes into digits. The recognition hierarchy is novel in that it is not crafted to be a “good” representation scheme, but is generated from the repeated calculation of low-order central moments.

Handprinted digit recognition using spatiotemporal connectionist models
We describe a connectionist model for recognizing unconstrained handprinted digits. Instead of treating the input as a static signal, the image is scanned over time and converted into a time-varying signal. The temporalized image is processed by a spatiotemporal connectionist network. The resulting system o ers shift-invariance along the temporalized axis, a reduction in the number of free para...
متن کاملRobust Iris Recognition in Unconstrained Environments
A biometric system provides automatic identification of an individual based on a unique feature or characteristic possessed by him/her. Iris recognition (IR) is known to be the most reliable and accurate biometric identification system. The iris recognition system (IRS) consists of an automatic segmentation mechanism which is based on the Hough transform (HT). This paper presents a robust IRS i...
متن کاملA New Segmentation Approach for Handwritten Digits
This article deals with a new segmentation approach applied to unconstrained handwritten digits. The novelty of the proposed algorithm is based on the combination of two types of structural features in order to provide the best segmentation path between connected entities. This method was developed to be applied in a segmentation-based recognition system. In this article, we first present the f...
متن کاملRecognition-based segmentation of on-line run-on handprinted words: Input vs. output segmentation
This paper reports on performance of two methods for recognition-based segmentation of strings of on-line handprinted capital Latin characters. The input strings consist of a time-ordered sequence of X-Y coordinates, punctuated by pen-lifts. The methods were designed to work in "run-on mode" where there is no constraint on the spacing between characters. While both methods use a neural network ...
متن کاملComponent-based handprint segmentation using adaptive writing style model
Building upon the utility of connected components, NIST has designed a new character segmentor based on statistically modeling the style of a person’s handwriting. Simple spatial features (the thickness of the pen stroke and the height of the handwriting) capture the characteristics of a particular writer’s style of handprint, enabling the new method to maintain a traditional character-level se...
