The cascaded HMM extends the way of HMM pattern description of Handwritten Chinese Character (HCC) and depicts the behavior of handwritten curve more reliably in terms of the statistic probability. Hence character segmentation and labeling are unnecessary. Viterbi algorithm is integrated in the cascaded HMM after the whole sample sequence of a HCC is input. More than 26,000 component samples are used tor training 407 handwritten component HMMs. At the improved training stage 94 models of 94 Chinese characters are gained by 32,000 samples, Compared with the Segment HMMs approach, the recognition rate of this model tier the tirst candidate is 87.89% and the error rate could be reduced by 12.4%.展开更多

In this way, it is possible to overcome the difFiculties of unstable stroke information caused by stroke Joinings. The techniques of data pre-processing and stroke segment extraction have been described. In extracting stroke segment, not only the characteristics of the stroke itself, but also its absolute positions as well as relative positions with other strokes in the character have been taken into account.The primitive features for recognition were extracted under these comprehensive considerations.展开更多

The technique has been tested and found to be more accurate and faster. Characters is classified into 26 pattern classes based on appropriate properties. Features of the handwritten character images are extracted by DWT used with appropriate level of multiresolution technique, and then each pattern class is characterized by a mean vector. Distances from input pattern vector to all the mean vectors are computed by EDM. Minimum distance determines the class membership of input pattern vector. The proposed method provides good recognition accuracy of 90% for handwritten characters even with fewer samples.展开更多

In this paper, we proposed a system that has three sub-systems. The three subsystems focus on offline recognition of handwritten English alphabetic characters (uppercase and lowercase), numeric characters (0 - 9) and individual signatures respectively. The system includes several stages like image preprocessing, the post-processing, the segmentation, the detection of the required amount of the character and signature, feature extraction and finally Neural Network recognition. At first, the scanned image is filtered after conversion of the scanned image into a gray image. Then image cropping method is applied to detect the signature. Then an accurate recognition is ensured by post-processing the cropped images. MATLAB has been used to design the system. The subsystems are then tested for several samples and the results are found satisfactory at about 97% success rate. The quality of the image plays a vital role as the images of poor or mediocre quality may lead to unsuccessful recognition and verification.展开更多

Some major complicationsin recognizing handwritten texts include distortion and patternvariabilities. So, the feature extraction process is a significant task in NLPmodels. If the features are automatically selected, it might result in theunavailability of adequate data for accurately forecasting the character classes.But, many features usually create difficulties due to high dimensionality issues.Against this background, the current study develops a Sailfish Optimizer withDeep Transfer Learning-Enabled Arabic Handwriting Character Recognition(SFODTL-AHCR) model. The projected SFODTL-AHCR model primarilyfocuses on identifying the handwritten Arabic characters in the inputimage. The proposed SFODTL-AHCR model pre-processes the input imageby following the Histogram Equalization approach to attain this objective.The Inception with ResNet-v2 model examines the pre-processed image toproduce the feature vectors. The Deep Wavelet Neural Network (DWNN)model is utilized to recognize the handwritten Arabic characters. At last,the SFO algorithm is utilized for fine-tuning the parameters involved in theDWNNmodel to attain better performance. The performance of the proposedSFODTL-AHCR model was validated using a series of images. Extensivecomparative analyses were conducted. The proposed method achieved a maximum accuracy of 99.73%. The outcomes inferred the supremacy of theproposed SFODTL-AHCR model over other approaches.展开更多
