چکیده

This paper presents a novel approach to separate connected digits in handwritten numerals by employing two agents in the process. The first agent decides on candidate cut-point as the closest feature-point to the center of the deepest top-valley, if any. The second agent argues candidate cut-point as the closest feature-point to the center of the highest bottom-hill, if any. Then the actual cut-point is decided by negotiation, which is influenced by a degree of confidence in each candidate cut-point. Experiments conducted so far are promising and successful as well as justified employing multiple agents. The obtained results are very encouraging with a success factor of 97.8%.

Grouping, Segmentation and Recognition of Handwritten Social Security Images

In unconstrained document images, social security numbers can occur in very unpredictable states. This paper presents techniques in segmenting and recognizing the social security number image. We explore the use of relative locations to separate the image into groups of digits. We implement an existing segmentation technique that utilizes both the foreground and background data. Then improve up...

Connected Component Based Word Spotting on Persian Handwritten image documents

Word spotting is to make searchable unindexed image documents by locating word/words in a doc-ument image, given a query word. This problem is challenging, mainly due to the large numberof word classes with very small inter-class and substantial intra-class distances. In this paper, asegmentation-based word spotting method is presented for multi-writer Persian handwritten doc-...
