Propositions
- The goal in multi-script handwritten character recognition is to achieve a high recognition performance on isolated handwritten characters from different scripts. – Chapter 1, this PhD thesis –
- If a number of appropriate cost functions have been designed, the original A* path-planning
algorithm can move through overlapping or connected text areas instead of moving around. – Chapter 2, this PhD thesis –
- Outputs of different classifiers can be combined and classified by the unweighted majority vote
method, which results in high accuracies on isolated handwritten character datasets. – Chapter 3, this PhD thesis –
- In our isolated handwritten character datasets, the best feature descriptors achieve high
recognition performances on challenging handwritten datasets with a simple classifier. – Chapter 4, this PhD thesis –
- Some feature extraction methods are able to capture the necessary information from the character
images, which makes them important for a recognition algorithm. – Chapter 4, this PhD thesis –
- The combination of local feature descriptors and the bags of visual words approach gives the
highest recognition performances. – Chapter 5, this PhD thesis –
