This paper describes the handwriting recognition competition held at ICDAR 2009. This competition is based on the RIMES-database, with French written text documents. These document are classified in three different categories, complete text pages, words, and isolated characters. This year 10 systems were submitted for the handwritten recognition competition on snippets of French words. The systems were evaluated in three subtask depending of the sizes of the used dictionary. A comparison between different classification and recognition systems show interesting results. A short description of the participating groups, their systems, and the results achieved are presented.
This paper describes the French handwriting recognition competition held at ICDAR 2011. This competition is based on the RIMES-database composed of French written documents corresponding to letters sent by individuals to companies or administrations. Two tasks have been proposed this year : the first one consists in recognizing isolated snippets of words with the help of a given dictionary; the second one consists in recognizing blocks of words segmented into lines. This year 9 systems were submitted for the different competition subtasks. A comparison between different classification and recognition systems show interesting results.A short description of the participating groups, their systems, and the results achieved are presented.
In this paper, a system is proposed for word-based recognition ofhandwritten Arabic scripts. Techniques are discussed in details in terms ofthree stages in the system, i. e. preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. Firstly, words are segmented from inputted scripts and also normalized in size. Then, DCTfeatures are extracted for each word sample. Finally, these features are then utilized to train a neural network for classification. The proposed system has been successfully tested on database (version v2. Ople) consisting of 32492 Arabic words handwritten by more than J000 different writers, and the results were promising and very encouraging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
