چکیده

This paper aims at automatic recognition of online handwritten mathematical expressions written on an electronic tablet. The proposed technique involves two major stages: symbol recognition and structural analysis. A multiple-classifier consists of both parametric and nonparametric classifier has been used for recognition of symbols. Parametric classifier is based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM), whereas, non-parametric classifier uses Nearest Neighbor classification scheme. Structural analysis uses several online and offline features to identify the spatial relationships among symbols. A context free grammar has been designed to convert input expressions into their corresponding Latex strings. Contextual information has been used to correct several errors occurring at both recognition and structural analysis stage. A new method for evaluating performance of the proposed systems has been formulated. Experiments on a dataset of considerable size show high efficiency of the proposed system.

Segmentation and recognition of symbols within handwritten mathematical expressions

In this paper an efficient on-line recognition system for symbols within handwritten mathematical expressions is proposed. The system is based on the generation of a symbol hypotheses net and the classification of the elements within the net. The final classification is done by calculating the most probable path through the net under regard of the stroke group probabilities and the probabilitie...

Structural analysis of online handwritten mathematical symbols based on support vector machines

Mathematical expression recognition is still a very challenging task for the research community mainly because of the two-dimensional (2d) structure of mathematical expressions (MEs). In this paper, we present a novel approach for the structural analysis between two on-line handwritten mathematical symbols of a ME, based on spatial features of the symbols. We introduce six features to represent...
