Hand Written Digit Recognition by Multiple Classifier Fusion based on Decision Templates Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Classifier fusion may generate more accurate classification than each of the basic classifiers. Fusion is often based on fixed combination rules like the product, average etc. This paper presents decision templates as classifier fusion method for the recognition of the handwritten English and Farsi numerals (1-9). The process involves extracting a feature vector on well-known image databases. The extracted feature vector is fed to multiple classifier fusion. A set of experiments were conducted to compare decision templates (DTs) with some combination rules. Results from decision templates conclude 97.99% and 97.28% for Farsi and English handwritten digits. Keywords—Decision templates, multi-layer perceptron, characteristics Loci, principle component analysis (PCA).

متن کاملDecision templates for multiple classifier fusion: an experimental comparison
Multiple classifier fusion may generate more accurate classification than each of the constituent classifiers. Fusion is often based on fixed combination rules like the product and average. Only under strict probabilistic conditions can these rules be justified. We present here a simple rule for adapting the class combiner to the application. c decision templates (one per class) are estimated w...

Recognition of connected handwritten digit strings is a challenging task due mainly to two problems: poor character segmentation and unreliable isolated character recognition. In this paper, we first present a rational B-spline representation of digit templates based on Pixel-to-Boundary Distance (PBD) maps. We then present a neural network approach to extract B-spline PBD templates and an evol...
