• Abstract: Recognition of handwritten document aims at transforming document images into a machine understandable format. Handwritten document recognition is the most challenging area in the field of pattern recognition. It becomes more complex when a document was written on vellum before hundreds of years, like older Geez scripts. In this study, we introduced a modified segmentation approach to recognize older Geez scripts. We used adaptive filtering for noise reduction, Isodata iterative global thresholding for document image binarization, modified bounding box projection to segment distinct strokes between Geez characters, numbers, and punctuation marks. SVM multiclass classifier scored 79.32% recognition accuracy with the modified segmentation algorithm.

  This paper proposes a method that leverages linguistic knowledge from a large text corpus to replace the traditional one-hot encoding used in auto-regressive scene text spotting and recognition models. We generate text distributions that align well with scene text datasets, removing the need for in-domain fine-tuning. Experimental results show that our method not only improves recognition accuracy but also enables more accurate localization of words.

  We focus on the scenario where the transcription is known beforehand, in which case the character segmentation becomes an assignment problem. Inspired by the $k$-means clustering algorithm, we view it from the perspective of cluster assignment and present a Transformer-based architecture. In order to assess the quality of our approach, we create character segmentation ground truths for two popular on-line handwriting datasets.
