Architectures for integrated and distributed handwriting recognition systems are discussed. An XML (eXtensible Markup Language) based representation for online handwriting data, referred to as XPEN, is proposed. XPEN is based on the earlier UNIPEN format. The flexibility of the new format is illustrated with an example of the use of XSLT (XSL-Transformations) to translate XPEN into the Scalable...

• X-terminals and PC/workstations where the TMS340 had made considerable inroads, but now 3D graphics put increased demand on the hardware. • Vtdeo Conferencing where real-time video and audio compression and decompression for the then draft standard ofH.320. • Document Image Processing for digital copiers which scan, enhance, compress and transmit over modem or network. • Multimedia applicatio...

This document highlights and addresses architecture level software development issues facing researchers and practitioners in the field of Computer Vision. A new framework, or architectural style, called SAI, is introduced. It provides a formalism for the design, implementation and analysis of software systems that perform distributed parallel processing of generic data streams. Architectural p...

An overview is presented of algorithms and techniques for document image analysis with an emphasis on those for grnphics recognition and interpretation. The techniques are derived from the fields of image processing. pattern recognition, and machine vision. The objective in document image analysis is to recognize page contents including layout, text, and figures. Although optical character reco...
