Several thresholding algorithms have previously been proposed and are widely used in document processing. None have been shown effective at thresholding difficult documents where the background and foreground are non-uniform. In this paper we investigate the use of three global thresholding algorithms (Otsu's, Kapur's entropy and Solihin's quadratic integral ratio (QIR)) as the first stage in a multi-stage thresholding algorithm for use in degraded document images. It is concluded that Otsu's and Kapur's algorithms do not work well for difficult documents as they tend to over-threshold the image, thus losing much of the useful information. The QIR algorithm is more accurate in separating the foreground and background in these images, leaving a range of undecided, fuzzy, pixels for later processing in a subsequent stage.","PeriodicalId":114017,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Eighth International Workshop on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116171695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cursive handwriting is modeled by a tri-unit handwriting model, which focuses on both the handwritten letters and the interconnection strokes of adjacent letters. Handwriting strokes are formed from generative models that are based on control points and B-spline curves. In the two-step learning process, a template-based matching algorithm and a data congealing algorithm are first proposed to extract training vectors from handwriting samples, and then letter style models and concatenation style models are trained separately. In the synthesis process, isolated letters and ligature strokes are generated from the learned models and concatenated with each other to produce the whole word trajectory, with guidance from a deformable model. Experimental results show that the proposed system can effectively learn the individual style of cursive handwriting and has the ability to generate novel handwriting of the same style.","PeriodicalId":114017,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Eighth International Workshop on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125379263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The technique combines dynamic time warping (DTW) and support vector machines (SVMs) by establishing a new SVM kernel. We call this kernel Gaussian DTW (GDTW) kernel. This kernel approach has a main advantage over common HMM techniques. It does not assume a model for the generative class conditional densities. Instead, it directly addresses the problem of discrimination by creating class boundaries and thus is less sensitive to modeling assumptions. By incorporating DTW in the kernel function, general classification problems with variable-sized sequential data can be handled. In this respect the proposed method can be straightforwardly applied to all classification problems, where DTW gives a reasonable distance measure, e.g., speech recognition or genome processing. We show experiments with this kernel approach on the UNIPEN handwriting data, achieving results comparable to an HMM-based technique.","PeriodicalId":114017,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Eighth International Workshop on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122022696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed method, whose basic assumptions follow from handwriting generation studies, relies upon a set of morphological criteria applied to both the ligatures and the terminal regions of successive characters in order to decide the most appropriate position for the segmentation points. It does not exploit any temporal information, but rather it manipulates shape information, thus is suitable for both online and off-line handwriting processing. An experimental procedure, adopted to quantitatively evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm without using any classification method, is also introduced.","PeriodicalId":114017,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Eighth International Workshop on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125683637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This UI includes a writing area on the screen that behaves as a \"treadmill\" such that electronic ink input is immediately moved from right to left while it is being entered, giving the user the feeling of writing text on a virtual \"ticker-tape\". This method allows the user to write continuously without running out of writing space, and takes up very little screen real-estate to implement. The UI communicates with a recognition engine capable of recognizing continuously input handwritten text and that can buffer incomplete ink entries. The UI technique described, unlike prior interfaces in which space constraints limit the ability to continuously write on the device screen and thus slow text input, allows the full throughput benefit of continuous text input to be realized within a very small writing space.","PeriodicalId":114017,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Eighth International Workshop on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127752842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method aims to deal with typical problems which have been frequently observed in slant correction of handwritten Korean strings with conventional approaches developed for English/European languages. Extracted strokes from a line of text image are classified into two clusters: vertical and diagonal. Gaussian modeling is applied to each of the clusters and the slant angle is estimated from the model which represents the vertical strokes. Experimental results support the effectiveness of the proposed method. For the performance comparison 1,600 handwritten address sting images were used, and success rate of 96.7%, which is much higher than other conventional approaches, has been achieved.","PeriodicalId":114017,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Eighth International Workshop on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127781914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PCR provides medical, legal, and quality assurance (QA) data (approximately 2-3 Years behind in storage and analysis) that needs to be efficiently centralized to aid health care. Automating NYS PCR analysis will facilitate a more efficient and useful description of a patient being admitted to a hospital emergency room (ER). ER environments can be highly stressful on the human body given the time constraints of bioterrorism, trauma and/or disease. The recognition task will allow these ER health care professionals to evaluate all data and emergency techniques performed by paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMT's). A computer screen, presenting diagrams, descriptions and inferences of a human body, representing the patient, will be updated with the corresponding handwritten PCR information. This information can then be transported to a central data bank where other hospitals can determine if there are possible outbreaks due to bio-terrorism, disease, hazardous materials incident or other non-obvious mass casualty incidents (MCI). Currently, it may take several days or even weeks, when it is clearly too late, to discover a massive atrocity. The recognition process will involve a method for reducing the size of the lexicon by integrating semantic knowledge with pattern recognition data.","PeriodicalId":114017,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Eighth International Workshop on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132324049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
