Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Segmentation of handwritten document images into text-lines and words is an essential task for optical character recognition. However, since the features of handwritten document are irregular and diverse depending on the person, it is considered a challenging problem. In order to address the problem, we formulate the word segmentation problem as a binary quadratic assignment problem that considers pairwise correlations between the gaps as well as the likelihoods of individual gaps. Even though many parameters are involved in our formulation, we estimate all parameters based on the Structured SVM framework so that the proposed method works well regardless of writing styles and written languages without user-defined parameters. Experimental results on ICDAR 2009/2013 handwriting segmentation databases show that proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art performance on Latin-based and Indian languages.
