공간 필터링 신경회로망을 이용한 필기체 문자 인식의 특징 추출 방법을 제안한다. 필기체 문자의 특징 추출을 위한 신경망은 먼저, 불규칙한 화소를 제거하는 전처리를 수행한다. 그 후, 윤곽선 검출 및 제거를 통해 외곽선 정보들을 소거한다. 그리고 문자의 특징에 해당하는 정보를 추출한 후 잡음을 제거한다. 제안된 시스템은 시각영역에서 나타나는 여러 가지 세포들의 수용 영역에 대응하는 공간 필터를 활용한 것이다. 제안된 시스템의 타당성을 확인하기 위한 실험은 PE2 데이터를 사용하였다. 실험을 통해 공간필터링 신경회로망을 이용한 필기체 문자의 특징 추출 시스템은 곡선이나 원, 사각형이 포함된 형태의 필기 문자에서도 특징 추출이 용이하다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

The handwriting based person identification systems use their designer's perceived structural properties of handwriting as features. In this paper, we present a system that uses those structural properties as features that graphologists and expert handwriting analyzers use for determining the writer's personality traits and for making other assessments. The advantage of these features is that their definition is based on sound historical knowledge (i.e., the knowledge discovered by graphologists, psychiatrists, forensic experts, and experts of other domains in analyzing the relationships between handwritten stroke characteristics and the phenomena that imbeds individuality in stroke). Hence, each stroke characteristic reflects a personality trait. We have measured the effectiveness of these features on a subset of handwritten Devnagari and Latin script datasets from the Center for Pattern Analysis and Recognition (CPAR-2012), which were written by 100 people where each person wrote three samples of the Devnagari and Latin text that we have designed for our experiments. The experiment yielded 100% correct identification on the training set. However, we observed an 88% and 89% correct identification rate when we experimented with 200 training samples and 100 test samples on handwritten Devnagari and Latin text. By introducing the majority voting based rejection criteria, the identification accuracy increased to 97% on both script sets.

Handwritten text recognition is one of the active research areas nowadays. The progress in this field differs in every language. For example, the progress in Arabic handwritten text recognition is still insignificant and needs more attentions and efforts. One of the most important fields in this is Arabic handwritten manuscript text recognition which focuses in extracting text from historical manuscripts. For eons, ancients used manuscripts to write everything. Nowadays, there are millions of manuscripts all around the world. There are two main challenges in dealing with these manuscripts. The first one is that they are at the risk of damage since they are written in primitive materials, the second challenge is due to the difference in writing styles, hence most people are unable to read these manuscripts easily. Therefore, we discuss in this study different papers that are related to this important research field.

This paper describes the recognition of totally unconstrained handwritten numerals using neural networks. Neural networks with multiple output nodes have been successfully used to classify complex handwritten numerals. The recognition system consists of the preprocessing stage to extract features using Kirsch mask and the classification stage to recognize the numerals using the fully-connected recurrent neural networks (RNN). Simulation results with the numeral database of Concordia university, Montreal, Canada, are presented. The recognition system proposed in this paper outperforms other recognition systems reported on the same database.

Character segmentation is a preprocessing step in many offline handwriting recognition systems. In this paper, Chinese characters are categorized into seven different structures. In each structure, the character size with the range of variations is estimated considering typical handwritten samples. The component removal and merge criteria are presented to remove punctuation symbols or to merge small components which are part of a character. Finally, the criteria for segmenting the adjacent characters concerning each other or overlapped are proposed.

In this paper, we describe a modularized neuroclassifier for enhancing the recognition accuracy of mixed printed and handwritten numerals. This classifier combines four modularized subclassifiers using multi-layer perceptron module. The input of each subclassifier is comprised of a group of specialized feature sets. On applying this method to combining several subclassifiers for unconstrained handwritten numerals, the experimental result shows that the performance of individual subclassifier can be improved. In winner-take-all voting method, the result of subclassifier having the highest RF value is selected as the output. The generality of this classifier is tested with 1,080 printed and 3,000 handwritten numerals that was not shown in training the neural networks. Experimental results show 98.2% recognition rate. The typical recognition test with a threshold value(RF=1.5) has shown 97% recognition, 1% substitution and 2% rejection rates.

Several neural networks have been successfully used to classify complex patterns such as handwritten numerals or words. This paper describes the discrimination of totally unconstrained handwritten numerals using the proposed chaotic neural network (CNN) to improve the recognition rate. The recognition system in the paper consists of the preprocessing stage to extract features using Kirsch mask and the classification stage to recognize numerals using the CNN. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed network, we performed the recognition with unconstrained handwritten numeral database of Concordia university, Canada. Experimental results show that the CNN based recognizer performs higher recognition rate than other neural network-based methods reported using same database.

Recently, it Is required to develop OCR(Optical Character Reader) along with the progress of the information processing system for Hangeul. Characters have to be recognized clearly so that OCR can be applied, Structure analysis method and lump method are used for the recognition of characters, and OCR is now available for the recognition of printed characters and handwritten alphanumeric characters having simple structure by them However, It is known that there should be much more study on the development of handwritten Hangout's OCR. This paper proposed a new method for the handwritten Hangout character recognition. The units of Initial consonant of Hangout are separated and then recognized from the utilization of the position- Information of Hangeul's units from the normalized patterns using the regression line theory. It is carried out for the extraction of the block which exists in the virtual Initial consonant region from the normalized input patterns and the calculation on maximum value (${\beta}$) of likelihood after comparing the features of separated subpattern with the initial consonant dictionary.

Documents of the last few decades typically include more than one kind of language, so linguistic classification of each word is essential, especially in terms of English and Korean in handwritten documents. Traditional methods mostly use conventional features of structural or stroke features, but sometimes they fail to identify many characteristics of words because of complexity introduced by handwriting. Therefore, traditional methods lead to a considerably more-complicated task and naturally lead to possibly poor results. In this study, convolutional neural network (CNN) is used for classification of English and Korean handwritten words in text documents. Experimental results reveal that the proposed method works effectively compared to previous methods.

Text line segmentation is a critical task in handwritten document recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel text-line-segmentation method using baseline estimation and watershed. The baseline-detection algorithm estimates the baseline using Adaptive Head-Tail Connection (AHTC) on the document. Then, the watershed method segments the line region using the baseline-detection result. Finally, the text lines are separated by watershed result and a post-processing algorithm defines the lines more correctly. The scheme successfully segments text lines with 97% accuracy from the handwritten document images in the ICDAR database.
