Multi-script handwriting recognition with FOHDEL

Abstract: Until now handwritten character recognition systems used script specific methodologies. We present a unified syntactic approach for multi-script recognition. The fuzzy pattern description language FOHDEL is used to store fuzzy features in the form of fuzzy rules. First we briefly describe the proposed recognition methodology for Latin, Devanagari and Kanji scripts by analyzing their characteristic properties. Further we present the main features of FOHDEL by a comparative rule generation of three scripts under experiment. Finally the system integration of the proposed multi-script recognition scheme in the existing Latin recognition system is presented.

Joint Transform Correlator Applied to Recognition of Devanagari Script

Abstract: A hybrid optoelectronic character recognition system is proposed to identify Devanagari scripts which is also used in old Sanskrit manuscripts. In this system, the correlation operation is performed using a joint-transform correlator (JTC) and data-transfer is done using electronic peripheral hardware. Optical system design of JTC using a liquid crystal spatial light modulator and CCD (charge coupled device) camera was performed. Using a one-channel JTC, we demonstrated for the first time the discrimination of all core elements. Furthermore, novel methods using special characteristics of the script such as syllable partitioning and skew angle correction are discussed.
