  2. Machine Overview • Problem definition • Real time application • Classes of handwriting recognition • Data and representation • Features • Methodology/Algorithms • KNN • SVM • Adaboost • Results • Questions?

  3. Problem definition Identifying the identity of the writer of a sample handwritten document, from a set of writers.

  4. Problem definition Handwriting varies on factors such as age, handedness, mood, speed of writing, mode of writing. Intra- writer variation: Variation in handwriting of the same individual. Inter- writer variation: Variation in handwriting of two different people.

  5. Real time application:Handwriting analysis

  6. Classes of Handwriting Recognition: • Offline -data is extracted from scanned images from sources such as paper or photograph - Preprocessing is performed to get features • Online • Text is written on a digitizer • Information such as speed of writing, direction of brush stroke available

  7. Data and representation Source : IAM Handwriting Database Data : 25 writers with 52 instances each Binary classification therefore, samples of any 2 writers are used for training at a time. Feature vector : 104 x 3

  8. Features Our data is segmented and preprocessed • Features : 5 features • Aspect ratio(width,height) • Gray scale • Centroid of word • Number of connected components

  9. Algorithms KNN

  10. SVM

  11. AdaBoost AdaBoost (Boosting algorithm)

  12. Results KNN: 25 writers 52 instances Features used: Centroid {x,y coordinates} At a time two writers Training on 80% of instances Test accuracy 66% Training on 75% of instances Test accuracy 74% Training on 70% of instances Test accuracy 81% Features used:Aspect ratio Training on 75% of instances Test accuracy 70%

  13. Results SVM classifier: 25 writers 52 instances Features used: Centriod {x,y coordinates} 20 iterations Training on 80% of instances accuracy 66.67% Training on 75% of instances accuracy 75% Features used: Aspect ratio {width,height} Training on 75% of instances accuracy 75%

  14. Results Adaboost: Features used : Aspect ratio {width,height} for 20 iterations error is approx 22% for test data so 78% accuracy
