  1. Recognizing Hebrew alphabet of specific handwriting Introduction to Computational and Biological Vision 2010 By RotemDvir and Osnat Stein

  2. Motivation • Usage of existing function on the text. • Reprocessing and rearranging the text. • Redesign the text. • Combining the text with another document. • Using other applications that require text files.

  3. Goal • Recognize handwritten Hebrew alphabet of specific handwriting, known in advance. • When given a scanned image of an alphabetic letter, we would like to recognize this letter.

  4. Chain code - reminder • Absolute • Relative

  5. Generic Algorithm • Input: scanned letter image. • Output: Numerical chain code. • Find black pixel to start the encoding from. While there is black pixel who wasn't visited: • Find a direction to continue. • Update chain code and mark the pixel as visited. • Move forward to the chosen pixel. Return chain code.

  6. Question marks • How to choose the beginning pixel? • How to choose the next direction if there is more than one option? • Which encoder to use? • What to do if we reached dead-end, but there are still black pixels left?

  7. In our project • Three different approaches • Same beginning pixel • Encoder • Method for progressing • Dead end • State machine

  8. An easier problem • Easier problem then recognize is to determine if an input letter is a specific target letter or not. • cannot produce good results, as long as using chain codes as described before

  9. Conclusions • The chain code must describe the shape of the letter. • For thin letters we had good results, but for regular letters it is much harder. • Improvement • Reduction

  10. Questions…? Thank you! 
