Holistic recognition of handwritten character pairs

Researchers have thus far focused on the recognition of alpha and numeric characters in isolation as well as in context. In this paper we introduce a new genre of problems where the input pattern is taken to be a pair of characters. This adds to the complexity of the classification task. The 10 class digit recognition problem is now transformed into a 100 class problem where the classes are {00,…, 99}. Similarly, the alpha character recognition problem is transformed to a 26×26 class problem, where the classes are {AA,…, ZZ}. If lower-case characters are also considered the number of classes increases further. The justification for adding to the complexity of the classification task is described in this paper. There are many applications where the pairs of characters occur naturally as an indivisible unit. Therefore, an approach which recognizes pairs of characters, whether or not they are separable, can lead to superior results. In fact, the holistic method described in this paper outperforms the traditional approaches that are based on segmentation. The correct recognition rate on a set of US state abbreviations and digit pairs, touching in various ways, is above 86%.

A base62 transformation format of ISO 10646 for multilingual identifiers

ISO 10646 Universal Character Set (UCS) is a 31‐bit coding architecture that covers symbols in most of the world's written languages. Identifiers in programming languages are usually defined by using alphanumeric characters of ASCII, which represent mainly English words. An approach for working around this deficiency is to encode multilingual identifiers into the alphanumeric range of ASCII. For case‐sensitive languages, an encoding that utilizes [0–9][A–Z][a–z] can be more space‐efficient for multilingual identifiers. This paper proposes a base62 transformation format of ISO 10646 called UTF‐62. The resulting string of UTF‐62 is within a [0–9][A–Z][a–z] range, a total of 62 base characters. UTF‐62 also preserves the lexicographic sorting order of UCS‐4. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multiple expert classification: a new methodology for parallel decision fusion

Abstract. A new parallel hybrid decision fusion methodology is proposed. It is demonstrated that existing parallel multiple expert decision combination approaches can be divided into two broad categories based on the implicit decision emphasis implemented. The first category consists of methods implementing computationally intensive decision frameworks incorporating a priori information about the target task domain and the reliability of the participating experts, while the second category encompasses approaches implementing group consensus without assigning any importance to the reliability of the experts and ignoring other contextual information. The methodology proposed in this paper is a hybridisation of these two approaches and has shown significant performance enhancements in terms of higher overall recognition rates along with lower substitution rates. Detailed analysis using two different databases supports this claim. Received January 19, 1999 / Revised March 20, 2000     

An automated vision system for container-code recognition

Automatic container-code recognition is of great importance to the modern container management system. Similar techniques have been proposed for vehicle license plate recognition in past decades. Compared with license plate recognition, automatic container-code recognition faces more challenges due to the severity of nonuniform illumination and invalidation of color information. In this paper, a computer vision based container-code recognition technique is proposed. The system consists of three function modules, namely location, isolation, and character recognition. In location module, we propose a text-line region location algorithm, which takes into account the characteristics of single character as well as the spatial relationship between successive characters. This module locates the text-line regions by using a horizontal high-pass filter and scanline analysis. To resolve nonuniform illumination, a two-step procedure is applied to segment container-code characters, and a projection process is adopted to isolate characters in the isolation module. In character recognition module, the character recognition is achieved by classifying the extracted features, which represent the character image, with trained support vector machines (SVMs). The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed technique for practical usage.
