HMM-based Indic handwritten word recognition using zone segmentation

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel approach of Indic handwritten word recognition using zone segmentation.

• Efficient PHOG features developed to improve the performance of HMM based middle zone recognition.

• Integration of water reservoir concept for better character alignment in a word image.

• A detailed study of experimental results in Bangla and Devanagari scripts has been performed.

• The proposed framework outperforms traditional without-zone-segmentation based recognition systems.
