Hand Printed Character Recognition Using Neural Networks
In this paper an attempt is made to recognize hand-printed characters by using features extracted using the proposed sector approach. In this approach, the normalized and thinned character image is divided into sectors with each sector covering a fixed angle. The features totaling 32 include vector distances, angles, occupancy and end-points. For recognition, both neural networks and fuzzy logic techniques are adopted. The proposed approach is implemented and tested on hand-printed isolated character database consisting of English characters, digits and some of the keyboard special characters
A survey of comics research in computer science
Graphical novels such as comics and mangas are well known all over the world.
The digital transition started to change the way people are reading comics,
more and more on smartphones and tablets and less and less on paper. In the
recent years, a wide variety of research about comics has been proposed and
might change the way comics are created, distributed and read in future years.
Early work focuses on low level document image analysis: indeed comic books are
complex, they contains text, drawings, balloon, panels, onomatopoeia, etc.
Different fields of computer science covered research about user interaction
and content generation such as multimedia, artificial intelligence,
human-computer interaction, etc. with different sets of values. We propose in
this paper to review the previous research about comics in computer science, to
state what have been done and to give some insights about the main outlooks
A Comparative study of Arabic handwritten characters invariant feature
This paper is practically interested in the unchangeable feature of Arabic
handwritten character. It presents results of comparative study achieved on
certain features extraction techniques of handwritten character, based on Hough
transform, Fourier transform, Wavelet transform and Gabor Filter. Obtained
results show that Hough Transform and Gabor filter are insensible to the
rotation and translation, Fourier Transform is sensible to the rotation but
insensible to the translation, in contrast to Hough Transform and Gabor filter,
Wavelets Transform is sensitive to the rotation as well as to the translation
