The major techniques are using structural features of stroke and setting production rules for classification. For the former, a technique is employed to re-order the character image components derived from skeleton of character image as based on Thai scripts and glyphs. In the latter, a set of production rules is established with a stroke patterns for character clustering and further for character classification. In this work, 12 clusters for Thai consonants, digits and special characters are grouped together, including 8 clusters for Thai vowel signs and tone marks. The proposed system is tested with over 1,000,000 Thai characters of multi-fonts and multi-sizes, the result shows that it could yield a very high accuracy rate in those tests of recognition.","PeriodicalId":445699,"journal":{"name":"2008 9th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114566879","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 CR systems are based on filter bank modulation (FBM) with special filter bank structures, i.e., some of the filter bank tree leafs are virtual or not modulated by the transmitted data. This kind of structure is capable of creating holes in the transmitted signal spectrum which can be used to avoid interference. By changing the tree structure of the filter banks such as the tree depth, the number of the virtual leafs, and the location of the virtual leafs, the number and the location of the spectral holes are also variable. In the simulation tests, primary users are modeled as partial band interference (PBI) located in individual spectral bands.
