Abstract
A method for the off-line recognition of cursive handwriting based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is described. The features used in the HMMs are based on the arcs of skeleton graphs of the words to be recognized. An algorithm is applied to the skeleton graph of a word that extracts the edges in a particular order. Given the sequence of edges extracted from the skeleton graph, each edge is transformed into a 10-dimensional feature vector. The features represent information about the location of an edge relative to the four reference lines, its curvature and the degree of the nodes incident to the considered edge. The linear model was adopted as basic HMM topology. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a linear HMM. Given a dictionary of fixed size, an HMM for each dictionary word is built by sequential concatenation of the HMMs representing the individual letters of the word. Training of the HMMs is done by means of the Baum-Welch algorithm, while the Viterbi algorithm is used for recognition. An average correct recognition rate of over 98% on the word level has been achieved in experiments with cooperative writers using two dictionaries of I50 words each.
