ABSTRACT:
A method and system of recognizing handwritten words in scanned documents, wherein by processing a document containing handwriting, features for word localization are extracted from handwritten words contained in said document through basis points taken from a single curve of text lines. The method is independent of page orientation, and does not assume that the individual lines of handwritten text are parallel, and the method does not require that word regions be aligned with text line orientation wherein intra-word statistics are derived from sample pages rather than using a fixed threshold. The method has applications in digital libraries, handwriting tokenization, document management and OCR systems.
