A New Smoothing Method for Lexicon-Based Handwritten Text Keyword Spotting
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lexicon-based handwritten text keyword spotting (KWS) has proven to be a very fast and accurate alternative to lexicon-free methods. Nevertheless, since lexicon-based KWS methods rely on a predefined vocabulary, fixed in the training phase, they perform poorly for any query keyword that was not included in it (i.e. out-of-vocabulary keywords). This turns the KWS system useless for that particular type of queries. In this paper, we present a new way of smoothing the scores of OOV keywords, and we compare it with previously published alternatives on di↵erent data sets.

A probabilistic method for keyword retrieval in handwritten document images
Keyword retrieval in handwritten document images (word spotting) is very challenging given that OCR accuracy is not yet adequate for handwritten scripts, specially with large lexicons. Various proposed approaches build indices on information such as image features or OCR scores and have improved the performance of the traditional approach that builds index on OCR’ed text. In this paper, we impr...
متن کاملConnected Component Based Word Spotting on Persian Handwritten image documents
Word spotting is to make searchable unindexed image documents by locating word/words in a doc-ument image, given a query word. This problem is challenging, mainly due to the large numberof word classes with very small inter-class and substantial intra-class distances. In this paper, asegmentation-based word spotting method is presented for multi-writer Persian handwritten doc-...

متن کاملKeyword Spotting from Online Chinese Handwritten Documents using One-versus-All Character Classification Model
In this paper, we propose a method for text-query-based keyword spotting from online Chinese handwritten documents using character classi ̄cation model. The similarity between the query word and handwriting is obtained by combining the character classi ̄cation scores. The classi ̄er is trained by one-versus-all strategy so that it gives high similarity to the target class and low scores to the oth...
متن کاملLexicon-free handwritten word spotting using character HMMs
For retrieving keywords from scanned handwritten documents, we present a word spotting system that is based on character Hidden Markov Models. In an efficient lexicon-free approach, arbitrary keywords can be spotted without pre-segmenting text lines into words. For a multi-writer scenario on the IAM off-line database as well as for two single writer scenarios on historical data sets, it is show...
