A method for character-string recognition is presented. The proposed method jointly evaluates features obtained from individual characters and inter-character spaces. Combining these features resolves ambiguity in segmentation and classification of low-quality character-string images. To evaluate the inter-character features, an intercharacter orthogonal subspace is constructed for each permuta...

This paper reports on a novel technique for the separation of characters and words that are connected through touching or overlapping of characters between adjacent lines of text. The technique employs structural knowledge of handwriting styles where overlap is most frequently observed. The method is shown to work well in the most usual cases and resolve many of the more difficult cases observe...

With the increasing use of virtual characters in virtual and mixed reality settings, the coordination of realism in audiovisual rendering and expressive virtual characters becomes a key issue. In this paper we introduce a new system combining two systems for tackling the issue of realism and high quality in audiovisual rendering and life-sized expressive characters. The goal of the resulting SM...

Classification step is one of the most important tasks in any recognition system. This step depends greatly on the quality and efficiency of the extracted features, which in turn determines the efficient and appropriate classifier for each system. This study is an investigation of using both KNearest Neighbor (KNN) and Random Forest Tree (RFT) classifiers with previously tested statistical feat...

To achieve a high compression ratio when storing a large amount of Chinese characters is a problem in applications using Chinese characters. In this paper, we present a data compression software system which can reduce the storage requirement of Chinese characters and binary images. This system is composed of a Chinese font compressing subsystem and a binary image compressing subsystem. In the ...

In this paper, we propose an improved numeric character recognition method which can recognize numeric characters well under low-illuminated and shade-illuminated environment. The LN(Local Normalization) preprocessing method is used in order to enhance low-illuminated and shade-illuminated image quality. The reading area is detected using line segment information extracted from the illumination...

the construct quality of life is analytical, practical, construct and a main element in policy- making and the study of policies in public sphere as well as it has been known as an indicator in social development. the characters of the construct as dynamic, multidimensional, and has been diversity conceptions about it due to using more fields in their studies. however this attention caused to i...

Characters form the focus of various studies of literary works, including social network analysis, archetype induction, and plot comparison. The recent rise in the computational modelling of literary works has produced a proportional rise in the demand for character-annotated literary corpora. However, automatically identifying characters is an open problem and there is low availability of lite...

We describe two new methods to partition phylogenetic data sets of discrete characters based on pairwise compatibility. The partitioning methods make no assumptions regarding the phylogeny, model of evolution, or characteristics of the data. The methods first build a compatibility graph, in which each node represents a character in the data set. Edges in the compatibility graph may represent st...
