Affine-transformation and 2D-projection invariant k-NN classification of handwritten characters via a new matching measure

作者:

Highlights:

• We enhance k-NN classification by affine and 2D-projection invariant matchings.

• We develop acceleration methods for those distortion-tolerant matching techniques.

• We propose a matching measure using similarity in direction and curvature of edges.

• Experiments using the MNIST database show a very low error rate of 0.30%.

• The source code used in the above-mentioned experiments is uploaded.
