Handwriting Recognition
This addresses the problem of automating handwriting recognition for document digitization, but appears incremental as it focuses on segmentation without novel breakthroughs.
The paper tackles offline handwritten character recognition by developing a robust segmentation algorithm that isolates individual characters from handwritten text images, though no specific performance metrics or results are provided.
This paper describes the method to recognize offline handwritten characters. A robust algorithm for handwriting segmentation is described here with the help of which individual characters can be segmented from a selected word from a paragraph of handwritten text image which is given as input.
