Pvs. Rao, A KNOWLEDGE-BASED APPROACH FOR SCRIPT RECOGNITION WITHOUT TRAINING, IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence, 17(12), 1995, pp. 1233-1239
The approach is based on an empirical parametric model for the writing
hand system. The parameters are so chosen and quantized as to retain
only broad shape information ignoring writer-dependent and other varia
bility. Concatenation of character prototypes generates archetypal ref
erence words for recognition; training is unnecessary. Recognition sco
res exceed 90%.
