The Optical Character Recognition for Cursive Script Using HMM: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic Character Recognition has wide variety of applications such as automatic postal mail sorting, number plate recognition and automatic form of reader and entering text from PDA's etc. Cursive script’s Automatic Character Recognition is a complex process facing unique issues unlike other scripts. Many solutions have been proposed in the literature to solve complexities of cursive scripts character recognition. This paper present a comprehensive literature review of the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for off-line and on-line character recognition for Urdu, Arabic and Persian languages, based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM). We surveyed all most all significant approaches proposed and concluded future directions of OCR for cursive languages.

HMM Based Approach for Online Arabic Script Based Languages Character Recognition
-Arabic script based languages character recognition remains a challenging task due to its cursive nature. This task becomes more complex and demanding in case of handwritten Arabic script. We have used two layers HMM for recognition. We extracted directional and structural features for handwritten stroke and fused these feature to form more discriminant feature matrix. The fused feature matrix...

متن کاملLigature Modeling for Online Cursive Script Recognition
Online recognition of cursive words is a difficult task owing to variable shape and ambiguous letter boundaries. The approach proposed in this paper is based on hidden Markov modeling of letters and inter-letter patterns called ligatures occurring in cursive script. For each of the letters and the ligatures we create one HMM that models temporal and spatial variability of handwriting. By networ...

Character segmentation has long been one of the most critical areas of optical character recognition process. Through this operation, an image of a sequence of characters, which may be connected in some cases, is decomposed into sub-images of individual alphabetic symbols. In this paper, segmentation of cursive handwritten script of world’s fourth popular language, Bengali, is considered. Unlik...

ÐIn this paper, a new analytic scheme, which uses a sequence of segmentation and recognition algorithms, is proposed for offline cursive handwriting recognition problem. First, some global parameters, such as slant angle, baselines, and stroke width and height are estimated. Second, a segmentation method finds character segmentation paths by combining gray scale and binary information. Third, H...
