Optical Character Recognition, Using K-Nearest Neighbors
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of optical character recognition, OCR, has been widely discussed in the literature. Having a hand-written text, the program aims at recognizing the text. Even though there are several approaches to this issue, it is still an open problem. In this paper we would like to propose an approach that uses K-nearest neighbors algorithm, and has the accuracy of more than 90%. The training and run time is also very short.

The nearest neighbor (NN) approach is a powerfd nonparametric technique for pattern classification tasks. In this paper, algorithms for prototype reduction, hierarchical prototype organization and fast NN search are described. To remove redundant category prototypes and to avoid redundant comparisons, the algorithms exploit geometrical information of a given prototype set which is represented a...

متن کاملRejection Strategies and Confidence Measures for a k- NN Classifier in an OCR Task
In Handwritten Character Recognition, the rejection of extraneous patterns, like image noise, strokes or corrections, can improve significantly the practical usefulness of a system. In this paper, a combination of two confidence measures defined for a k-nearest neighbors classifier is proposed. Experiments are presented comparing the performance of the same system with and without the new rejec...
