테이블 탑 디스플레이는 사람에게 친숙한 상호작용의 매개체인 손을 입력장치로 이용하는 일종의 탁자형 멀티 터치스크린이라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환경에서 손가락 제스쳐를 활용하여 필기 숫자를 인식하는 연구를 수행함으로써 테이블 탑 디스플레이에 적합한 필기 숫자 인식 기술을 개발하였고, 이로 인해 추후 진행될 연속 숫자 혹은 특수기호의 성공적인 인식 가능성을 확인하였다. 실험 과정은 테이블 탑 디스플레이의 표면을 통해 입력된 손가락 궤적을 잡음제거, 대표점 추출등의 전처리 과정을 거쳐 16-방향 체인코드로 변환하고, 변환된 체인코드의 학습 및 필기 숫자 인식에 확률 통계적 모델인 은닉 마르코프 모델을 이용하였다. 학습에는 총 300개 필기 숫자 데이터를 이용하였고, 인식 실험에 사용한 별도의 100개의 필기 숫자 데이터에 대해 97%의 정인식율을 보였다.

This paper proposes a new handwritten numeral recognition method using numeral shape grasps and FSOM (Fuzzy Self-Organizing Map). The proposed algorithm is based on the idea that numeral input data with similar shapes are classified into the same class. Shapes of numeral data are created using lines of external-contact and the class of numeral data is determined by template matching of the shapes. Each class of numeral data has FSOM and feature extraction method, respectively. In this paper, we divide the numeral database into the 16 classes. The divided FSOM model allows not only an independent learning phase of SOM but also step-by-step learning. Experiments using Concordia University handwritten numeral database proved that the proposed algorithm is effective to improve recognition accuracy.

실생활에서 사용되는 은행전표에는 많은 숫자 항목이 포함되어 있다. 이 항목들에 나타나는 숫자들은 단순히 숫자들의 배열이 아니라 콤마나 하이픈 등이 포함되어 있으며 많은 경우 숫자들끼리 서로 접촉되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 시중 은행에서 사용되는 전표의 필기 숫자 항목을 처리하기 위한 시스템을 제안하고 이 효용성을 확인하기 위한 실험결과를 보였다. 실험은 크게 숫자분할 알고리즘에 대한 실험과 전체 시스템 성능에 대한 실험으로 나뉜다. 접촉된 두 숫자의 분할 알고리즘 성능 결과는 78.1%의 분할 성공률을 보였고 은행전표의 필기숫자 항목에 적용 결과는 53.5%였다.

Because of its large differences in writing style, context-independency and high recognition accuracy requirement, free handwritten digital identification is still a very difficult problem. Analyzing the characteristic of handwritten digits, this paper proposes a new handwritten digital identification method based on combining structural features. Given a handwritten digit, a variety of structural features of the digit including end points, bifurcation points, horizontal lines and so on are identified automatically and robustly by a proposed extended structural features identification algorithm and a decision tree based on those structural features are constructed to support automatic recognition of the handwritten digit. Experimental result demonstrates that the proposed method is superior to other general methods in recognition rate and robustness.

In this paper, we propose efficient total recognition system of handwritten and printed numerals for reducing the classification time. The proposed system consists of two-step neuroclassifier : Printed numerals classifier and handwritten numerals classifier. In the proposed scheme, the printed numerals classifier classifies the printed numerals rapidly with single MLP neural network by low-order feature vector and rejects handwritten numerals. The handwritten numerals classifier classifies the handwritten numerals which is rejected in printed numerals classifier with modularized cluster neural network by complex feature vector. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method,handwritten numerals database of NIST and printed numerals database which include various fonts are used in the experiments. In case of using the proposed classifier, the overall classification time was reduced by 49.1% - 65.5% in comparison of the existent handwritten classifier.

This paper presents recognition of unconstrained handwritten numeral strings using decision value generator, which is combined with both isolated digit identifier and recognizer designed with structural characteristics of digits. Numerical string recognition system is composed of three modules, which are pre-segmentation, segmentation and recognition. Pre-segmentation module classifies a numeral string into sub-images, which are isolated digit, touched digits or broken digit, using confidence value of decision value generator. Segmentation module segments touched digits using reliability value of decision value generator that will separate the leftmost digit from touched string of digits. Segmentation-based and segmentation-free methods have used for classification and segmentation, respectively. To evaluate proposed method, experiments have carried out with handwritten numeral strings of NIST SD19 and higher recognition performance than previous works has obtained with 96.7%.

This paper presents off-line handwritten numeral recognition method by using Eigen-Vectors. In this method, numeral features are extracted statistically by using Eigen-Vectors through KL transform and input numeral is recognized in the feature space by the nearest-neighbor classifier. In our feature extraction method, basis vectors which express best the property of each numeral type within the extensive database of sample numeral images are calculated, and the numeral features are obtained by using this basis vectors. Through the experiments with the unconstrained handwritten numeral database of Concordia University, we have achieved a recognition rate of 96.2%.

This paper describes the implementation methods of the MLP (mulilayer perteptrons) recognizers for numerals and non-nummerals. The MLP has known to be a very efficient classifier to recognize handwritten numerals in terms of recognition accuracy, speed, and memory requirements. The MLP in the previous researches, however, focuses on the only numeral inputs and does not pay attention to non-numeral inputs with respect to recognition accuracy, rejection rates, and other characteristics. In this paper, we present some implementation methods of the MLP in the environments that numeral and non-numerals are mixed. The MLP had been developed by three methods, and investigated with three error types introduced. The experiments had been conducted on a total of about 63,000 numerals and non-numerals. The promising method to recognize numeral and non-numerals is described in terms of the three error types.

필기체 숫자 인식을 위한 새로운 특징 추출방범을 숫자의 기하학적인 구조들을 이용하여 연구 제안하였다. 일반적으로 쓰이고 있는 특징점들의 몇가지 부류를 결정하여 추줄하였고, 분절 화소들을 이용한 특징 추출기는 사소한 부분들을 명확한 특징으로 탐지하여 추줄하게 된다. 신경망은 새로운 접근 가능성을 탐지하는 실험 인식기로 사용하였고, 이러한 방법들을 이용하여, 일반적인 특징점 추줄방법과 본 연구에서 제안하는 특징점 추출방법을 결합하게 되면 필기체 문자의 인식률이 단순히 일반적인 특징만을 활용하여 얻는 인식률 보다 훨씬 향상됨을 보여주었다.
