- OFF-LINE HANDWRITING RECOGNITION: A REVIEW AND EXPERIMENTS
-
- A. W. Senior
-
- December 1992
-
- Computer handwriting recognition offers a new way of improving the
- human-computer interface and of integrating computers better into
- human society. A review of computer handwriting recognition aims and
- applications is presented, followed by a description of relevant
- psychological research. Previous researchers' approaches to the
- problems of on-line, off-line and isolated character handwriting
- recognition are described.
-
- A complete system for automatic, off-line recognition of handwriting
- is detailed, which takes word images scanned from a handwritten page
- and produces word-level output. Normalisation and preprocessing
- methods are described and details of the recurrent error propagation
- network, Viterbi decoder and durational modelling used for recognition
- are given. Results are reported for experiments on a single-author
- cursive script database.
