The system takes color bank check images as input and consists of three main processing steps: numeral string extraction, segmentation & recognition, and post-processing. They focus sequentially on: detection and extraction of numeral string; segmentation and recognition of the string; and further analysis of recognition results for acceptance or rejection. Information fusion, method complementarity, multi-hypotheses generation then evaluation are three principles employed for designing algorithms in the first two modules. And logistic regression is used for post-processing. A large number of real checks collected from different banks are used for testing the system. Read rate around 82% is observed when the substitution rate is set to 1%, which corresponds to that of a human operator. The performance can also be tuned further toward a suitable balance between inaccuracy and rejection, in accordance with user preference.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131722820","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}

Given the large number of Chinese handwritten characters, pattern matching based on structural decomposition and analysis is useful and essential to Off-line Chinese recognition to reduce ambiguity. Two challenging problems for stroke extraction are: 1) how to extract primary strokes and 2) how to solve the segmentation ambiguities at intersection points. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach based on Optimum Paths(AOP) to solve this problem. Optimum Paths(AOP) are derived from the degree information and continuation property, we use them to tackle these two problems. Compared with other methods, the proposed approach has extracted strokes from Off-line Chinese handwritten characters with better performance.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132134018","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}

It stems from various factors, such as overlaid text or degradation. Restoring such characters is necessary for document analysis applications. This paper presents a new approach for restoring underlaying Hebrew broken characters that were partially occluded by Arabic text in a palimpsest. We apply text recognition on the fragments of the Hebrew letters and select the k candidate letters that match best the fragments of the Hebrew letters. We then complete the broken Hebrew characters using active contour with the k candidates as shape priors. We use a modified geodesic active contour, which we tailored to occluded text restoration. It is initialized on the fragments of the Hebrew text, then it undergoes an expansion phase and a contraction phase via the occluding Arabic text to form the restored Hebrew character. We measure the distance between the completed character and its corresponding priors and choose the shape with the minimal distance as the reconstructed character. Experimental results are presented. On average 68% of the characters were correctly reconstructed.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122422050","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}

Traditionally, linear feature transforms such as Principle Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminative Analysis (LDA) are commonly used. The assumptions they make, however, usually cannot be satisfied in practice and thus the best performance is not obtained. In this paper, we apply the Region-Dependent non-linear feature Transform (RDT) to handwriting recognition. RDT is one type of non-linear feature transforms which captures the discriminating power much better than traditional linear ones. We justify the effectiveness of RDT on handwriting features using an HMM-based handwriting recognition system on an Arabic handwriting dataset, which consists of 38K pages of handwriting, over 3M handwritten words. Experimental results show that RDT is able to decrease the word error rates (WERs) relatively by 4% to 7% with statistical significance, comparing to two LDA-based baseline systems.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121372524","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}

Therefore, we introduce a comparative study between two state-of-the-art denoising frameworks : local and non-local smoothing filters.

Local smoothing filters incorporate anisotropic diffusion approaches where as non-local filters introduce non-local means. Experiments conducted on synthetic and real degraded document images illustrate the behaviour of the studied frameworks on the visual quality and even on the optical recognition accuracy rates.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"9 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121951846","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}
