Water Reservoir Based Approach for Touching Numeral Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with a new scheme for automatic segmentation of unconstrained handwritten connected numerals. The scheme is mainly based on features obtained from a new concept based on water reservoir. A reservoir is a metaphor to illustrate the region where numerals touch. Reservoir is obtained by considering accumulation of water poured from the top or from the bottom of the numerals. At first, considering reservoir location and size, touching positions (top, middle and bottom) are decided. Next, analyzing the reservoir boundary, touching position and topological features of the touching pattern, the best cutting point is determined. Finally, combined with morphological structural features the cutting path for segmentation is generated.

متن کاملSegmentation of Isolated and Touching Characters in Offline Handwritten Gurmukhi Script Recognition
Segmentation of a word into characters is one of the important challenges in optical character recognition. This is even more challenging when we segment characters in an offline handwritten document. Touching characters make this problem more complex. In this paper, we have applied water reservoir based technique for identification and segmentation of touching characters in handwritten Gurmukh...

Main features used in the scheme are based on water-reservoir concept. A reservoir is a metaphor to illustrate the cavity region of the nu...
متن کاملAn approach for locating segmentation points of handwritten digit strings using a neural network
An approach for segmentation of handwritten touching numeral strings is presented in this paper. A neural network has been designed to deal with various types of touching observed frequently in numeral strings. A numeral string image is split into a number of line segments while stroke extraction is being performed and the segments are represented with straight lines. Four types of primitive ar...
متن کاملSegmentation of Bangla Unconstrained Handwritten Text
To take care of variability involved in the writing style of different individuals in this paper we propose a robust scheme to segment unconstrained handwritten Bangla texts into lines, words and characters. For line segmentation, at first, we divide the text into vertical stripes. Stripe width of a document is computed by statistical analysis of the text height in the document. Next we determi...
