Handwritten Word Image Matching Based on Heat Kernel Signature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Keyword Spotting is an alternative method for retrieving user specified text or query word images, without Optical Character Recognition (OCR), by calculating the similarity between features of word images rather than ASCII content. However, because of unconstrained writing styles with large variations, the retrieving results are always not very satisfactory. In this paper, we propose a novel method, which is based on Heat Kernel Signature (HKS) and Triangular Mesh Structure to achieve handwritten word image matching. HKS can tolerate large variations in handwritten word images and capture local features. On the other hand, the triangular mesh structure is used to present global characteristics. Moreover, our method does not need pre-processing steps.

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-...

This article proposes offline language-free writer identification based on speeded-up robust features (SURF), goes through training, enrollment, and identification stages. In all stages, an isotropic Box filter is first used to segment the handwritten text image into word regions (WRs). Then, the SURF descriptors (SUDs) of word region and the corresponding scales and orientations (SOs) are extr...
