Classification of Handwritten Names of Cities and Handwritten Text Recognition using Various Deep Learning Models

Abstract

This article discusses the problem of handwriting recognition in Kazakh and Russian languages. This area is poorly studied since in the literature there are almost no works in this direction. We have tried to describe various approaches and achievements of recent years in the development of handwritten recognition models in relation to Cyrillic graphics. The first model uses deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for feature extraction and a fully connected multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP) for word classification. The second model, called SimpleHTR, uses CNN and recurrent neural network (RNN) layers to extract information from images. We also proposed the Bluechet and Puchserver models to compare the results. Due to the lack of available open datasets in Russian and Kazakh languages, we carried out work to collect data that included handwritten names of countries and cities from 42 different Cyrillic words, written more than 500 times in different handwriting. We also used a handwritten database of Kazakh and Russian languages (HKR). This is a new database of Cyrillic words (not only countries and cities) for the Russian and Kazakh languages, created by the authors of this work.

An application of Vietnamese handwriting text recognition for information extraction from high school admission form

“…After applying the EAST model, the extraction results on the three regions reached the accuracy as shown in Table 3. Figure 7 shows the extraction ratio of the region containing text in the image of 3 regions A, B, and C. For region B, two algorithms are used (1. normal image processing and 2. deep learning algorithm with EAST model) [30].…”

Attention-Based Fully Gated CNN-BGRU for Russian Handwritten Text

“…We evaluated the results of Attention-Gated-CNN-BGRU and the other models using another method called Character Accuracy Rates(CAR) [ 53 , 54 ], this method is implemented to calculate the accuracy of symbols on Test1 and Test2 dataset.…”

“…Для розпізнавання кириличних символів подібні дослідження досить нечисленні. Є досвід використання архітектури MobileNet, яка включала 30 шарів [28] для розпізнавання символів казахської та російської мов.…”
