Development of Extensive Polish Handwritten Characters Database for Text Recognition Research

Video based Handwritten Characters Recognition

Video as an input device1 is becoming a viable method for information products because of its lower cost along with increasing power of computer processor. Its supporting humancomputer communication is evident. (Mann, 1996) used video-cam as the input device of a wearable computer system has reported that video becomes a "visual memory prosthetic", a perception enhancer, allowing one to remembe...

A data base for Arabic handwritten text recognition research

In this paper we present a new database for off-line Arabic handwriting recognition, together with several preprocessing procedures. We designed, collected and stored a database of Arabic handwriting (AHDB). This resulted in a unique databases dealing with handwritten information from Arabic text, both in terms of the size of the database as well as the number of different writers involved. We ...

Recognition of Handwritten Characters by Voronoi Representations Recognition of Handwritten Characters by Voronoi Representations

We present a new skeletonization algorithm well suited for the problem of handprinted character recognition. Our approach employs a novel algorithm for computing the Voronoi diagram of a polygon with holes. We show that Voronoi skeletons can serve as eecient shape descriptors because they preserve connectivity and Euclidean metrics. Compared to traditional skeletonization techniques, we suggest...

Online Recognition of Handwritten Telugu Characters

A system for online recognition of handwritten Telugu script is presented. A handwritten character is constructed by executing a sequence of strokes. A structureor shape-based representation of a stroke is used in which a stroke is represented as a string of shape features. Using this string representation, an unknown stroke is identified by comparing it with a database of strokes. A full chara...
