Holistic Farsi handwritten word recognition using gradient features
In this paper we address the issue of recognizing Farsi handwritten words. Two types of gradient features are extracted from a sliding vertical stripe which sweeps across a word image. These are directional and intensity gradient features. The feature vector extracted from each stripe is then coded using the Self Organizing Map (SOM). In this method each word is modeled using the discrete Hidde...
متن کاملLaterally Interconnected Self-Organizing Maps in Hand-Written Digit Recognition
An application of laterally interconnected self-organizing maps (LISSOM) to handwritten digit recognition is presented. The lateral connections learn the correlations of activity between units on the map. The resulting excitatory connections focus the activity into local patches and the inhibitory connections decorrelate redundant activity on the map. The map thus forms internal representations...
متن کاملHandwritten Digit Recognition: A Neural Network Demo
A handwritten digit recognition system was used in a demonstration project to visualize artificial neural networks, in particular Kohonen’s self-organizing feature map. The purpose of this project was to introduce neural networks through a relatively easy-to-understand application to the general public. This paper describes several techniques used for preprocessing the handwritten digits, as we...
متن کاملAdaptive Offset Subspace Self-Organizing Map: An Application to Handwritten Digit Recognition?
An Adaptive-Subspace Self-Organizing Map (ASSOM) can learn a set of ordered linear subspaces which correspond to invariant classes. However the basic ASSOM cannot properly learn linear manifolds that are shifted away from the origin of the input space. In this paper, we propose an improvement on ASSOM to amend this deficiency. The new network, named AOSSOM for Adaptive Offset Subspace Self-Orga...
متن کاملHandwritten digit recognition by adaptive-subspace self-organizing map (ASSOM)
The adaptive-subspace self-organizing map (ASSOM) proposed by Kohonen is a recent development in self-organizing map (SOM) computation. In this paper, we propose a method to realize ASSOM using a neural learning algorithm in nonlinear autoencoder networks. Our method has the advantage of numerical stability. We have applied our ASSOM model to build a modular classification system for handwritte...
