An XML Representation for Annotated Handwriting Datasets for Online Handwriting Recognition

چکیده
In this paper, we briefly descibe an XML representation for annotation of online handwriting data to support the development and evaluation of handwriting recognition algorithms, that is based on the emerging Digital Ink Markup Language (InkML) draft standard from W3C. In particular, we describe how the XML representation we have defined attempts to address issues of (i) support for different scripts, (ii) partial automation of labeling using recognition engines, (iii) planned as well as casual capture of handwriting data and (iv) semantic annotation of handwriting data at various levels such as character, word and phrase. The representation keeps the raw handwriting data (described by InkML) separate from its semantic interpretations. We also compare and contrast the XML representation with the extant UNIPEN representation for annotation of handwriting data.

XPEN: An XML Based Format for Distributed Online Handwriting Recognition
Architectures for integrated and distributed handwriting recognition systems are discussed. An XML (eXtensible Markup Language) based representation for online handwriting data, referred to as XPEN, is proposed. XPEN is based on the earlier UNIPEN format. The flexibility of the new format is illustrated with an example of the use of XSLT (XSL-Transformations) to translate XPEN into the Scalable...
متن کاملPersian Handwriting Analysis Using Functional Principal Components
Principal components analysis is a well-known statistical method in dealing with large dependent data sets. It is also used in functional data for both purposes of data reduction as well as variation representation. On the other hand "handwriting" is one of the objects, studied in various statistical fields like pattern recognition and shape analysis. Considering time as the argument,...

In this paper, we describe initial efforts at Hewlett-Packard Labs, Bangalore, to create datasets of online handwriting in Indic scripts to support research in online handwriting recognition for the Indic scripts. The term “online” here refers to the fact that handwriting is captured as a stream of (x,y) points using an appropriate pen position sensor (often called a digitizer), rather than as ...

For many years, researchers have studied high accuracy methods for recognizing the handwriting and achieved many significant improvements. However, an issue that has rarely been studied is the speed of these methods. Considering the computer hardware limitations, it is necessary for these methods to run in high speed. One of the methods to increase the processing speed is to use the computer pa...
