Efficient Estimation of Pen Trajectory from Off-Line Handwritten Words
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an easy and efficient method to estimate the pen trajectory based on minimizing the pen movement. Given start and end vertices, the complexity of the proposed algorithm is linear. In addition, the algorithm clearly identifies alternatives that do not affect the overall length of the pen trajectory, making enough room for other criteria, e.g. vision rules, to be applied.

Component-based Segmentation of Words from Handwritten Arabic Text
Efficient preprocessing is very essential for automatic recognition of handwritten documents. In this paper, techniques on segmenting words in handwritten Arabic text are presented. Firstly, connected components (ccs) are extracted, and distances among different components are analyzed. The statistical distribution of this distance is then obtained to determine an optimal threshold for words se...
متن کاملOn-line Handwritten Character Recognition: An Implementation of Counterpropagation Neural Net
On-line handwritten scripts are usually dealt with pen tip traces from pen-down to pen-up positions. Time evaluation of the pen coordinates is also considered along with trajectory information. However, the data obtained needs a lot of preprocessing including filtering, smoothing, slant removing and size normalization before recognition process. Instead of doing such lengthy preprocessing, this...
متن کاملGenerating Realistic Kanji Character Images from On-Line Patterns
The availability of a large sample database is very important to design high accuracy classifiers for handwritten character recognition. Collecting image samples from human writers and practical documents is expensive particularly for large character sets, like with East-Asia-languages. We can therefore take advantage of existing on-line databases to generate additional off-line images. This pa...
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 کاملStatistical Features Based Off Line Signature Verification System using Image Processing Techniques
Handwritten signature recognition can be divided into online (or dynamic) and off-line (or static) recognition. Online recognition refers to a process that the signer uses a special pen called a stylus to create his or her signature, producing the pen locations, speeds and pressures, while off-line recognition just deals with signature images acquired by a scanner or a digital camera. In genera...
