Alpha-Numerical Sequences Extraction in Handwritten Documents

International audienceIn this paper, we introduce an alpha-numerical sequences extraction system (keywords, numerical fields or alpha-numerical sequences) in unconstrained handwritten documents. Contrary to most of the approaches presented in the literature, our system relies on a global handwriting line model describing two kinds of information : i) the relevant information and ii) the irrelevant information represented by a shallow parsing model. The shallow parsing of isolated text lines allows quick information extraction in any document while rejecting at the same time irrelevant information. Results on a public french incoming mails database show the efficiency of the approach

HMM word graph based keyword spotting in handwritten document images

[EN] Line-level keyword spotting (KWS) is presented on the basis of frame-level word posterior probabilities. These posteriors are obtained using word graphs derived from the recogni- tion process of a full-fledged handwritten text recognizer based on hidden Markov models and N-gram language models. This approach has several advantages. First, since it uses a holistic, segmentation-free technology, it does not require any kind of word or charac- ter segmentation. Second, the use of language models allows the context of each spotted word to be taken into account, thereby considerably increasing KWS accuracy. And third, the proposed KWS scores are based on true posterior probabilities, taking into account all (or most) possible word segmentations of the input image. These scores are properly bounded and normalized. This mathematically clean formulation lends itself to smooth, threshold-based keyword queries which, in turn, permit comfortable trade-offs between search precision and recall. Experiments are carried out on several historic collections of handwritten text images, as well as a well-known data set of modern English handwrit- ten text. According to the empirical results, the proposed approach achieves KWS results comparable to those obtained with the recently-introduced "BLSTM neural networks KWS" approach and clearly outperform the popular, state-of-the-art "Filler HMM" KWS method. Overall, the results clearly support all the above-claimed advantages of the proposed ap- proach.This work has been partially supported by the Generalitat Valenciana under the Prometeo/2009/014 project grant ALMA-MATER, and through the EU projects: HIMANIS (JPICH programme, Spanish grant Ref.

Character Recognition

Character recognition is one of the pattern recognition technologies that are most widely used in practical applications. This book presents recent advances that are relevant to character recognition, from technical topics such as image processing, feature extraction or classification, to new applications including human-computer interfaces. The goal of this book is to provide a reference source for academic research and for professionals working in the character recognition field
