– This paper describes a new approach to recognize touching numeral strings. Currently most methods for numeral string recognition require segmenting the string image into separa...
In this paper, we present a novel approach for incorporating structural information into the hidden Markov Modeling (HMM) framework for offline handwriting recognition. Traditiona...
Shape representation is a difficult task because of several symbol distortions, such as occlusions, elastic deformations, gaps or noise. In this paper, we propose a new descriptor ...
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...
Learning a good ranking function plays a key role for many applications including the task of (multimedia) information retrieval. While there are a few rank learning methods availa...
