A Review of Various Character Segmentation Techniques for Cursive Handwritten Words Recognition
نویسنده
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processing, postal address recognition, reading machines for the blind, bank cheque recognition and interpretation of historical documents. Therefore, in the last few decades the researchers have put enormous effort to develop various techniques for handwriting segmentation and recognition. This review presents the segmentation strategies for automated recognition of off-line unconstrained cursive handwriting from static surfaces. This paper reviews many basic and advanced techniques and also compares the research results of various researchers in the domain of handwritten words segmentation.

A Dynamic Programming Method for Segmentation of Online Cursive Uyghur Handwritten Words into Basic Recognizable Units
Correct and efficient segmentation of Uyghur words into characters is crucial to the successful recognition. However, little work has been done in this area. There are many connected characters in cursive Uyghur handwriting, which makes the segmentation and recognition of Uyghur words very difficult. To enable large vocabulary Uyghur word recognition using character models, we propose a charact...

This paper presents a survey of segmentation handwritten cursive word images into individual characters. It provides a comprehensive review of segmentation rates and descriptions of test data for the approaches discussed. Techniques that used to decide segmentation points describe in detail. Then the performances are compared in two categories based on number of words and existence of learning ...
متن کاملImproved Offline Connected Script Recognition Based on Hybrid Strategy
In domain of analytic cursive word recognition, there are two main approaches: explicit segmentation based and implicit segmentation based. However, both approaches have their own shortcomings. To overcome individual weaknesses, this paper presents a hybrid strategy for recognition of strings of characters (words or numerals). In a two stage dynamic programming based, lexicon driven approach, f...
متن کاملSegmentation of Offline Handwritten Bengali Script
Character segmentation has long been one of the most critical areas of optical character recognition process. Through this operation, an image of a sequence of characters, which may be connected in some cases, is decomposed into sub-images of individual alphabetic symbols. In this paper, segmentation of cursive handwritten script of world’s fourth popular language, Bengali, is considered. Unlik...
