ICDAR2015 Writer Identification Competition using KHATT, AHTID/MW and IBHC Databases

چکیده
Handwriting is considered to be one of the commonly used modality to identify persons in commercial, governmental and forensic applications. In order to record recent advances in the field of writer identification, we are proposing to organize the ICDAR2015 writer identification competition using KHATT, AHTID/MW and IBHC Databases. A first edition of the Arabic Writer Identification Competition using KHATT and AHTID/MW Databases was organized in the 14th International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition (ICFHR’14) [8]. The underlining objective is in the evolution of handwritten text recognition research. This competition will take place at the 13 International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR’15), during August 23-26, 2015, Tunis, Tunisia and will be organized using the freely available Arabic Handwritten Text Images Database written by Multiple Writers (AHTID/MW), the Arabic handwritten text database called KHATT and the Isolated Bangla Handwritten Characters (IBHC) database.

Identification of Arabic/French Handwritten/Printed Words using GMM-Based System
The discrimination between languages is one of the first steps in the problem of automatic documents text recognition. In many documents, such as bank checks and application forms, printed and handwritten texts are mixed. In this paper, an automatic identification system of Arabic and French words in both handwritten and printed script based on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) was presented. A fi...
متن کاملEncoding CNN Activations for Writer Recognition
The encoding of local features is an essential part for writer identification and writer retrieval. While CNN activations have already been used as local features in related works, the encoding of these features has attracted little attention so far. In this work, we compare the established VLAD encoding with triangulation embedding. We further investigate generalized max pooling as an alternat...
متن کاملWriter Identification Using GMM Supervectors and Exemplar-SVMs
This paper describes a method for robust offline writer identification. We propose to use RootSIFT descriptors computed densely at the script contours. GMM supervectors are used as encoding method to describe the characteristic handwriting of an individual scribe. GMM supervectors are created by adapting a background model to the distribution of local feature descriptors. Finally, we propose to...
متن کاملBaseline Estimation in Arabic Handwritten Text-Line - Evaluation on AHTID/MW Database
Baseline extraction is one of the most important phases for handwriting recognition. Due to the complexity of the Arabic scripts, baseline detection of Arabic handwritten text-lines is a difficult task compared to other languages. In this work, a method which combines some baseline extraction techniques used in literature was presented to provide a fine estimation of baseline in Arabic handwrit...
متن کاملWriter Identification and Retrieval Using a Convolutional Neural Network
In this paper a novel method for writer identification and retrieval is presented. Writer identification is the process of finding the author of a specific document by comparing it to documents in a database where writers are known, whereas retrieval is the task of finding similar handwritings or all documents of a specific writer. The method presented is using Convolutional Neural Networks (CN...
