Book Description
For many years researchers in the field of Handwriting Recognition were considered to be working in an area of minor importance in Pattern Recog nition. They had only the possibility to present the results of their research at general conferences such as the ICPR or publish their papers in journals such as some of the IEEE series or PR, together with many other papers generally oriented to the more promising areas of Pattern Recognition. The series of International Workshops on Frontiers in Handwriting Recog nition and International Conferences on Document Analysis and Recognition together with some special issues of several journals are now fulfilling the expectations of many researchers who have been attracted to this area and are involving many academic institutions and industrial companies. But in order to facilitate the introduction of young researchers into the field and give them both theoretically and practically powerful tools, it is now time that some high level teaching schools in handwriting recognition be held, also in order to unite the foundations of the field. Therefore it was my pleasure to organize the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Fundamentals in Handwriting Recognition that had its origin in many exchanges among the most important specialists in the field, during the International Workshops on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition.

Book Description
What Is Handwriting Recognition Handwriting recognition (HWR) is the ability of a computer to accept and interpret comprehensible handwritten input from sources such as paper documents, pictures, touch-screens, and other devices. Handwritten text recognition (HTR) is another name for handwriting recognition. Handwriting recognition (HWR) is also known as handwritten text recognition (HTR). By using optical scanning or intelligent word recognition, the image of the written text can be sensed "off line" from a piece of paper. This can be done in a number of different ways. A different option is for the movements of the pen tip to be sensed "on line," for instance by a pen-based computer screen surface. This is a task that is typically simpler because there are more hints available. Formatting, accurate character segmentation, and the identification of words that are most likely to be written are all taken care of by a handwriting recognition system. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Handwriting Recognition Chapter 2: Artificial Neural Network Chapter 3: Optical Character Recognition Chapter 4: Recurrent Neural Network Chapter 5: Long Short-term Memory Chapter 6: Deep Learning Chapter 7: Signature Recognition Chapter 8: Handwritten Biometric Recognition Chapter 9: MNIST Database Chapter 10: History of Artificial Neural Networks (II) Answering the public top questions about handwriting recognition.

Book Description
This book has the primary goal of presenting and discussing some recent advances and ongoing developments in the Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) field, resulting from works done on different HTR-related topics for the achievement of more accurate and efficient recognition systems. Nowadays, there is an enormous worldwide interest in HTR systems, which is mostly driven by the emergence of new portable devices incorporating handwriting recognition functions. Others interests are the biometric identification systems employing handwritten signatures, as well as the requirements from cultural heritage institutions like historical archives and libraries in order to preserve their large collections of historical (handwritten) documents. The book is organized into two sections: the first one is mainly devoted to describing the current state-of-the-art applications in HTR and the last advances in some of the steps involved in HTR workflow (that is, preprocessing, feature extraction, recognition engines, etc.), whereas the second focuses more on some relevant HTR-related applications.In more depth, the first part offers an overview of the current state-of-the-art applications of HTR technology and introduces the new challenges and research opportunities in the field. Besides, it provides a general discussion of currently ongoing approaches towards solving the underlying search problems on the basis of existing methods for HTR in terms of both accuracy and efficiency. In particular, there are chapters especially focused on image thresholding and enhancement, text image preprocessing techniques for historical handwritten documents and feature extraction methods for HTR. Likewise, in line with the breakout success of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in the field, a whole chapter is devoted to describing the designing of HTR systems based on DNNs. Finally, a chapter listing the most used benchmarking datasets for HTR is also included, providing detailed information about which types of HTR systems (on/offline) and features are commonly considered for each of them.In the second part, several systems -- also developed on the basis of the fundamental concepts and general approaches outlined in the first part -- are described for several HTR-related applications. Presented in the corresponding chapters, these applications cover a wide spectrum of scenarios: mathematical formulae recognition, scripting language recognition, multimodal handwriting-speech recognition, hardware design for online HTR, student performance evaluation through handwriting analysis, performance evaluation methods, keyword spotting, and handwritten signature verification systems.Last but not least, it is important to remark that to a large extent, this book is the result of works carried out by several researchers in the Handwritten Text Recognition field.Therefore, it owes credit to these researchers that have directly contributed to their ideas, discussions and technical collaborations, and in general who, in one manner or another, have made it possible.

Book Description
What Is Intelligent Word Recognition The process of recognizing unconstrained handwritten words is known as Intelligent Word Recognition, abbreviated IWR. Instead than recognizing handwritten words or phrases character by character like its predecessor, optical character recognition (OCR), IWR can recognize full handwritten words or phrases. IWR technology compares written or handwritten words to a vocabulary that has been created by the user, which considerably reduces the number of character errors that are produced by conventional character-based recognition engines. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Intelligent word recognition Chapter 2: Optical character recognition Chapter 3: Handwriting recognition Chapter 4: Optical mark recognition Chapter 5: Intelligent character recognition Chapter 6: Document processing Chapter 7: Automatic identification and data capture Chapter 8: Noisy text analytics Chapter 9: Forms processing Chapter 10: Handwritten biometric recognition (II) Answering the public top questions about intelligent word recognition. (III) Real world examples for the usage of intelligent word recognition in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technologies in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of intelligent word recognition' technologies. Who This Book Is For Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of intelligent word recognition.
