Separation of touching and overlapping words in adjacent lines of handwritten text
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports on a novel technique for the separation of characters and words that are connected through touching or overlapping of characters between adjacent lines of text. The technique employs structural knowledge of handwriting styles where overlap is most frequently observed. The method is shown to work well in the most usual cases and resolve many of the more difficult cases observed in very poor quality handwritten documents .

Separation of Overlapping and Touching Lines within Handwritten Arabic Documents
In this paper, we propose an approach for the separation of overlapping and touching lines within handwritten Arabic documents. Our approach is based on the morphology analysis of the terminal letters of Arabic words. Starting from 4 categories of possible endings, we use the angular variance to follow the connection and separate the endings. The proposed separation scheme has been evaluated on...
متن کاملA Survey on Word Segmentation Method for Handwritten Documents
One of the most important and challenging tasks in a handwritten recognition pipeline is the segmentation of handwritten document images into text lines and words. Several problems inherent in handwritten documents such as the difference in the skew angle between text lines or along the same text line, the existence of adjacent text lines or words touching, the existence of characters with diff...
متن کاملA new scheme for unconstrained handwritten text-line segmentation
Variations in inter-line gaps and skewed or curled text-lines are some of the challenging issues in segmentation of handwritten text-lines. Moreover, overlapping and touching text-lines that frequently appear in unconstrained handwritten text documents significantly increase segmentation complexities. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for unconstrained handwritten text-line segmentatio...
متن کاملSegmentation of Touching, Overlapping, Skewed and Short Handwritten Text Lines
Text line segmentation is an inherent part of document recognition system and important preprocessing step for word and character segmentation. Presence of touching or overlapping text lines, short-lines, curvilinear or skewed lines and small or variant gaps between the text lines make the segmentation challenging. These variations cause errors in recognition phase. This paper describes the top...
