A novel approach is proposed for the extraction of legal and courtesy amounts and date from cheque images based on the structural description of cheques. A method for the representation of cheques is presented. Several image processing techniques and algorithms have been developed in this approach. Experimental results show that the approach is effective and the proposed techniques and algorith...

Didier Guillevic Ching Y. Suen CENPARMI, Suite GM-606 Concordia University Montr eal, QC, H3G 1M8 Contact: [email protected] Abstract We describe a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based word recognition engine currently being developed to be integrated with the CENPARMI Bank Cheque Processing System. The various modules are described in detail, and preliminary results are compared with our...

This paper presents a new approach to symbolic handwritten numerals segmentation and pre-processing. It is based on recent developpments i n robust fuzzy clustering. Adaptative linear shape detection is achieved taking into account noise caracterisation . Introduction This work is a part of more complete project of handwritten numerical amount of cheque interpretation. We will present work rela...

Cursive handwriting recognition is a challenging task for many real world applications such as document authentication, form processing, postal address recognition, reading machines for the blind, bank cheque recognition and interpretation of historical documents. Therefore, in the last few decades the researchers have put enormous effort to develop various techniques for handwriting segmentati...
