Duration modeling results for an on-line handwriting recognizer
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a series of experiments that have been conducted to investigate the effect of duration modeling in a hidden Markov model (HMM) based online handwriting recognition system. The issues discussed include parametric vs. non-parametric distributions to model duration, different methods for training transition probabilities and the effect of weighting on duration terms.

Improved Modeling in Handwriting Recognition
In this work a script independent handwriting recognition system is proposed which is derived from the RWTH-ASR hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech recognizer. Most problems occurring in handwriting recognition (HWR) are induced by large variations within the written text. In particular, different handwriting styles such as cursive writing or long drawn-out strokes are difficult to model. Co...

This paper proposes a new approach to accelerating speed and increasing the recognition rate of an off-line recognizer employed for on-line handwriting recognition of Japanese characters. All training patterns are divided according their stroke number to several groups and one single recognizer is dedicated for each group of patterns. Since a number of categories for a single recognizer is smal...
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 کاملHandwriting Recognition of Whiteboard Notes
This paper introduces a new system for processing on-line whiteboard notes. Notes written on a whiteboard is a new modality in handwriting recognition research that has received relatively little attention in the past. For the recognition we use an off-line HMM-recognizer, which has been developed in the context of our previous work. The recognizer is supplemented with methods for processing th...
متن کاملEffects of Training Set Expansion in Handwriting Recognition Using Synthetic Data
A perturbation model for the generation of synthetic textlines from existing cursively handwritten lines of text produced by human writers is presented. Our goal is to improve the performance of an off-line cursive handwriting recognition system by providing it with additional synthetic training data. It can be expected that by adding synthetic training data the variability of the training set ...
