• Abstract summary: This paper introduces a deep learning-based object detection framework (YOLO) with Hough and Affine transformation for skew correction. We present an extended version of the BN-HTRd dataset comprising 786 full-page handwritten Bangla document images. Evaluation on the test portion of our dataset resulted in an F-score of 99.97% for line and 98% for word segmentation.

• Abstract: Handwriting recognition remains challenging for some of the most spoken languages, like Bangla, due to the complexity of line and word segmentation brought by the curvilinear nature of writing and lack of quality datasets. This paper solves the segmentation problem by introducing a state-of-the-art method (BN-DRISHTI) that combines a deep learning-based object detection framework (YOLO) with Hough and Affine transformation for skew correction. However, training deep learning models requires a massive amount of data. Thus, we also present an extended version of the BN-HTRd dataset comprising 786 full-page handwritten Bangla document images, line and word-level annotation for segmentation, and corresponding ground truths for word recognition. Evaluation on the test portion of our dataset resulted in an F-score of 99.97% for line and 98% for word segmentation. For comparative analysis, we used three external Bangla handwritten datasets, namely BanglaWriting, WBSUBNdb_text, and ICDAR 2013, where our system outperformed by a significant margin, further justifying the performance of our approach on completely unseen samples.

  We focus on open vocabulary instance segmentation to expand a segmentation model to classify and segment instance-level novel categories.

We devise a joint textbfCaption Grounding and Generation (CGG) framework, which incorporates a novel grounding loss that only focuses on matching object to improve learning efficiency.

  Low resource Handwritten Text Recognition is a hard problem due to the scarce annotated data and the very limited linguistic information.

Contrary to traditional generation approaches, which require a huge amount of annotated images, our method is able to generate human-like handwriting using only one sample of each symbol from the desired alphabet.

Our experiments show that given only three seed documents per category, our framework can achieve an accuracy of about 92%.
