A Learning-based Approach to Cursive Handwriting Synthesis ?

چکیده
This paper proposes a learning-based approach to synthesize cursive handwriting of the user’s personal handwriting style, by combining shape models and physical models together. In the training process, some sample paragraphs written by the user are collected and these cursive handwriting samples are segmented into individual characters by using a two-level writer-independent segmentation algorithm. Samples for each letter are then aligned and trained using Principal Component Analysis(PCA). In the synthesis process, a delta log-normal model based conditional sampling algorithm is proposed to produce smooth and natural cursive handwriting of the user’s style from models.

Learning-based cursive handwriting synthesis
In this paper, an integrated approach for modeling, learning and synthesizing personal cursive handwriting is proposed. Cursive handwriting is modeled by a tri-unit handwriting model, which focuses on both the handwritten letters and the interconnection strokes of adjacent letters. Handwriting strokes are formed from generative models that are based on control points and B-spline curves. In the...
متن کاملFusion of Segmentation Strategies for Off-Line Cursive Handwriting Recognition
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processing, postal address recognition, reading machines for the blind, bank check recognition, and interpretation of historical documents. Therefore, in the last few decades, researchers have put an enormous effort into developing various techniques for handwriting recog...
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 کاملOn-line cursive handwriting characterization using TF-IDF scores of graphemes
In this paper, we present an approach for characterizing the on-line cursive handwriting of different writers, which may consist in identifying the writer or his handwriting style. This method is inspired from information retrieval methods and is designed to be embedded in an adaptive word recognizer. We perform experiments assessing the effectiveness of the proposed method for writer identific...
متن کاملEnhancing Neural Confidence-based Segmentation for Cursive Handwriting Recognition
This paper proposes some directions for enhancing a neural network-based technique for automatically segmenting cursive handwriting. The technique fuses confidence values obtained from left and center character recognition outputs in addition to a Segmentation Point Validation output. Specifically, this paper describes the use of a recently proposed feature extraction technique (Modified Direct...
