Tóm tắt

A fast elastic matching based handwritten character recognition method is investigated. In the method, an unconstrained elastic matching technique, where the matching is optimized locally and individually on each pixel, is utilized together with its a posteriori evaluation based on the eigen-deformations of handwritten characters. Our experimental results show that high recognition rates can be attained by the present method with feasible computations.
