Beschreibung:
Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition contains selected key papers from the 6th International Workshop on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition (IWFHR '98), held in Taejon, Korea from 12 to 14, August 1998. Most of the papers have been expanded or extensively revised to include helpful discussions, suggestions or comments made during the workshop.
On-line handwriting recognition by discrete HMM with fast learning; diacritical processing using efficient accounting procedures in a forward search; a handwritten form reader architecture; combining different classifiers and levels of knowledge - a first step towards an adaptive recognition system; architecture for handwritten text recognition systems; search algorithms for the recognition of cursive phrases without world segmentation; a method for the determination of features used in human reading of cursive handwriting; global methods for stroke segmentation; an advanced segmentation technique for cursive word recognition; document understanding based on maximum a posteriori probability estimation; combining shape matrices and HMMs for hand-drawn pictogram recognition.
