Rejection strategies for offline handwritten text line recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates rejection strategies for unconstrained offline handwritten text line recognition. The rejection strategies depend on various confidence measures that are based on alternative word sequences. The alternative word sequences are derived from specific integration of a statistical language model in the hidden Markov model based recognition system. Extensive experiments on the IAM database validate the proposed schemes and show that the novel confidence measures clearly outperform two baseline systems which use normalised likelihoods and local n-best lists, respectively.

متن کاملRejection Strategies in Handwriting Recognition Systems
This master thesis investigates multiple rejection strategies for offline handwritten sentence recognition. The rejection strategies are implemented as a post-processing step of a Hidden Markov Model based text recognition system, and are based on confidence measures derived from a list of additional candidate sentences produced by the recogniser. Four different reject models are presented and ...

In this paper we present an on-line recognition system for handwritten texts acquired from a whiteboard. This input modality has received relatively little attention in the handwriting recognition community in the past. The system proposed in this paper uses state-of-the-art normalization and feature extraction strategies to transform a handwritten text line into a sequence of feature vectors. ...
متن کاملEnsemble methods for offline handwritten text line recognition
This thesis investigates ensemble methods for offline recognition of English handwritten text lines. Multiple recognisers are automatically generated from a single base recognition system. Combining the output of these multiple recognisers provides the final ensemble result. The underlying recognisers are based on hidden Markov models. One model is built for each character. Based on the lexicon...
