Even though most areas, including land records, agreements between parties, legal certificates, identification cards, etc., are moving toward digital documents with signatures for authentication, uses only a signature written by hand. Verifying is crucial because false would have significant impact on the actual owner. Therefore, it essential to recognize genuine in order avoid such frauds. In ...

This chapter evaluates the performance of edge-based directional probability distributions as features in writer identification in comparison to a number of other texture-level features encoding non-angular information. We introduce here a new feature: the joint probability distribution of the angle combination of two ”hinged” edge fragments. It is noted that the ”edge-hinge” distribution outpe...

The paper is concerned with some generalized versions gE and wE of classical tensor norms. We find a Banach space E for which are finitely generated norms, show that associated the ideals E-nuclear operators. also initiate study theories our

Character segmentation has long been one of the most critical areas of optical character recognition process. Through this operation, an image of a sequence of characters, which may be connected in some cases, is decomposed into sub-images of individual alphabetic symbols. In this paper, segmentation of cursive handwritten script of world’s fourth popular language, Bengali, is considered. Unlik...

Mixture modelling is a hot area in pattern recognition. This paper focuses on the use of Bernoulli mixtures for binary data and, in particular, for binary images. More specifically, six EM initialisation techniques are described and empirically compared on a classification task of handwritten Indian digits. Somehow surprisingly, we have found that a relatively good initialisation for Bernoulli ...
