Gray-scale document images are binarized in order to perform optical character recognition (OCR). To perform this binarization, a variety of techniques have been proposed for perf...
In this paper we present a novel shape descriptor based on shape context, which in combination with hierarchical distance based hashing is used for word and graphical pattern base...
In this paper, we present a novel approach for incorporating structural information into the hidden Markov Modeling (HMM) framework for offline handwriting recognition. Traditiona...
We present a method to detect characters on signboards in natural scene images. For many applications, both classifier with small computational cost and the efficient feature set,...
The paper describes a lexicon driven approach for word recognition on handwritten documents using Conditional Random Fields(CRFs). CRFs are discriminative models and do not make a...
