Perturbation Models: A New Approach to Improving Handwriting Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the application of the perturbation method to handwriting recognition. First the standard pattern recognition operations of preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification are reviewed. Then we introduce the perturbation method as a new approach to overcoming the problems that result from the sequential architecture traditionally found in pattern recognition systems. Two case studies in handwriting recognition, namely, isolated numeral recognition and cursive handwriting recognition, are presented. Experimental results show that the perturbation method significantly improves the recognition rates of state-of-the-art systems.

Design, Implementation, and Testing of Perturbation Method for Handwritten Numeral Recognition
This report presents a new approach to o -line handwritten numeral recognition. From the concept of perturbation due to writing habits and instruments, we propose a recognition method which is able to account for a variety of distortions due to eccentric handwriting. The new approach constitutes a shift from the usual pattern recognition paradigm where normalisation is the rst step prior to fea...
متن کاملA new hybrid approach to large vocabulary cursive handwriting recognition
This paper presents a novel hybrid modeling technique that is used for the first time in Hidden Markov Modelbased handwriting recognition. This new approach combines the advantages of discrete and continuous Markov models and it is shown that this is especially suitable for modeling the features typically used in handwriting recognition. The performance of this hybrid technique is demonstrated ...

In order to facilitate the entry of data into the computer and its digitalization, automatic recognition of printed texts and manuscripts is one of the considerable aid to many applications. Research on automatic document recognition started decades ago with the recognition of isolated digits and letters, and today, due to advancements in machine learning methods, efforts are being made to iden...
متن کاملImproved Modeling in Handwriting Recognition
In this work a script independent handwriting recognition system is proposed which is derived from the RWTH-ASR hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech recognizer. Most problems occurring in handwriting recognition (HWR) are induced by large variations within the written text. In particular, different handwriting styles such as cursive writing or long drawn-out strokes are difficult to model. Co...
متن کاملText Localisation and Handwriting Recognition
This report discusses several general aspects of text localisation and handwriting recognition. In particular, we consider their applications to extraction and recognition of numerals written on Giro forms. For text localisation, we investigate the problem of extracting text printed or written inside boxes on forms. We review a number of representative methods for solving this problem, describe...
