In this paper, we propose efficient total recognition system of handwritten and printed numerals for reducing the classification time. The proposed system consists of two-step neuroclassifier : Printed numerals classifier and handwritten numerals classifier. In the proposed scheme, the printed numerals classifier classifies the printed numerals rapidly with single MLP neural network by low-order feature vector and rejects handwritten numerals. The handwritten numerals classifier classifies the handwritten numerals which is rejected in printed numerals classifier with modularized cluster neural network by complex feature vector. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method,handwritten numerals database of NIST and printed numerals database which include various fonts are used in the experiments. In case of using the proposed classifier, the overall classification time was reduced by 49.1% - 65.5% in comparison of the existent handwritten classifier.

Handwritten character recognition is classified into on-line handwritten character recognition and off-line handwritten character recognition. On-line handwritten character recognition has made a remarkable outcome compared to off-line hacdwritten character recognition. This method can acquire the dynamic written information such as the writing order and the position of a stroke by means of pen-based electronic input device such as a tablet board. On the contrary, Any dynamic information can not be acquired in off-line handwritten character recognition since there are extreme overlapping between consonants and vowels, and heavily noisy images between strokes, which change the recognition performance with the result of the preprocessing. This paper proposes a method that effectively extracts the stroke including dynamic information of characters for off-line Korean handwritten character recognition. First of all, this method makes improvement and binarization of input handwritten character image as preprocessing procedure using watershed algorithm. The next procedure is extraction of skeleton by using the transformed Lu and Wang's thinning: algorithm, and segment pixel array is extracted by abstracting the feature point of the characters. Then, the vectorization is executed with a maximum permission error method. In the case that a few strokes are bound in a segment, a segment pixel array is divided with two or more segment vectors. In order to reconstruct the extracted segment vector with a complete stroke, the directional component of the vector is mortified by using right-hand writing coordinate system. With combination of segment vectors which are adjacent and can be combined, the reconstruction of complete stroke is made out which is suitable for character recognition. As experimentation, it is verified that the proposed method is suitable for handwritten Korean character recognition.

The advent of deep learning technology has made rapid progress in handwritten letter recognition in many languages. Handwritten Chinese recognition has improved to 97.2% accuracy while handwritten Japanese recognition approached 99.53% percent accuracy. Hanguel handwritten letters have many similar characters due to the characteristics of Hangeul, so it was difficult to recognize the letters because the number of data was small. In the handwritten Hanguel recognition using Hybrid Learning, it used a low layer model based on lenet and showed 96.34% accuracy in handwritten Hanguel database PE92. In this paper, 98.64% accuracy was obtained by organizing deep CNN (Convolution Neural Network) in handwritten Hangeul recognition. We designed a new network for handwritten Hangeul data based on GoogLenet without using the data augmentation or the multitasking techniques used in Hybrid learning.

필기체 문자는 인쇄체 문자와는 달리, 복잡한 변형이 따르므로, 인식 하는데 많은 문제점이 따른다. 그렇기 때문에 일반적인 필기체 인식에 있어서는 필기 자체에 대한 제한을 두어 변형을 적게한 문자를 인식 대상으로 삼고 있다. 이러한 문자는, 설정된 조건만 확실하게 만족한다면, 비교적 간단하게 인식 할 수 있다. 반면에, 자유 필기체 문자는, 제한 필기체 문자와는 달리 변형이 크기 때문에, 그 인식에는 많은 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는, 자유 필기체 한글의 자모를 추출하는데 있어 두개의 parameter space method를 이용했다. 화상내에서의 혼합은, 기본적으로 5 개의 element ($\mid,\;\setminus,\;/,\;-,\;o$)로 구성되어 있고, 이 element를 정의하는데는 최소한 4 개의 parameter, 즉 element의 위치 [x, y], 크기 [1] 및 type [T] 등이 필요하다. 입력 화상에서 추출된 직선 및 원의 성분은 [x, y, l] 과 [x, y, T]의 2 개의 3-D parameter space 에 누적되고, parameter space 상에서의 병합 분할 과정을 거쳐, element 가 형성된다. 추출된 element 들은, parameter space 상에서의 방향성 및 상호 위치 관계에 의한 조합 형태로서, 미리 기술되어진 자모 모델과 비교되어 인식된다. 본 방법의 특정은, 문자의 크기에 무관하고, 해석방법에 의해서는, 끊어진 element나 불필요한 element 등의 왜곡된 element 들의 처리가 가능한 점, 4 차원 parameter space를 두개의 3 차원 parameter space로 분리, 처리시간과 기억용량의 절약을 기한점 등을 들 수 있다.

Currently, with the proliferation of digital devices, the significance of handwritten texts in daily lives is gradually diminishing. As the use of keyboards and touch screens increase, a decline in Korean handwriting quality is being observed across a broad spectrum of Korean documents, from young students to adults. However, Korean handwriting still remains necessary for many documentations, as it retains individual unique features while ensuring readability. To this end, this paper aims to implement an application designed to improve and correct the quality of handwritten Korean script The implemented application utilizes the CRAFT (Character-Region Awareness For Text Detection) model for handwriting area detection and employs the VGG-Feature-Extraction as a deep learning model for learning features of the handwritten script. Simultaneously, the application presents the user's handwritten Korean script's reliability on a syllable-by-syllable basis as a recognition rate and also suggests the most similar fonts among candidate fonts. Furthermore, through various experiments, it can be confirmed that the proposed application provides an excellent recognition rate comparable to conventional commercial character recognition OCR systems.

본 논문에서는 획 상대위치 판별을 통한 온라인 필기체 한글 문자 인식에 관하여 연구하였다. 한글을 구성하는 획을 인식하기 위하여 각 획의 시작부분과 끝부분의 방향코드를 이용하였으며, 인식된 획들을 바탕으로 각 획들간의 상대위치 정보를 이용하여 자소를 인식하였다. 온라인 필기체 한글의 경우 획의 모양과 크기가 필기자에 따라 불규칙하게 변하므로 획의 모양보다는 획의 위치를 인식에 더 중요한 자료로 삼아 인식을 행하였다. 6,000자의 온라인 필기체 한글 문자에 대하여 실험한 결과, 문자당 평균인식속도 0.034초, 획 인식률 92.3%와 문자 인식률 94.6%를 보였다. 본 실험의 결과로서 온라인 필기체 인식시스템을 구성함에 있어서 획의 시작 부분과 끝부분의 진행방향이 획인식의 중요 요소임과 획들간의 상대적 위치가 한글 문자 인식에 있어서 중요한 요소임을 밝혔다.

In this paper, we implemented a Korean text generation and classification model based on a deep learning algorithm that can be applied to various industries. It consists of two implemented GAN-based Korean handwriting generation models and CNN-based Korean handwriting classification models. The GAN model consists of a generator model for generating fake Korean handwriting data and a discriminator model for discriminating fake handwritten data. In the case of the CNN model, the model was trained using the 'PHD08' dataset, and the learning result was 92.45. It was confirmed that Korean handwriting was classified with % accuracy. As a result of evaluating the performance of the classification model by integrating the Korean cursive data generated through the implemented GAN model and the training dataset of the existing CNN model, it was confirmed that the classification performance was 96.86%, which was superior to the existing classification performance.

Because of its large differences in writing style, context-independency and high recognition accuracy requirement, free handwritten digital identification is still a very difficult problem. Analyzing the characteristic of handwritten digits, this paper proposes a new handwritten digital identification method based on combining structural features. Given a handwritten digit, a variety of structural features of the digit including end points, bifurcation points, horizontal lines and so on are identified automatically and robustly by a proposed extended structural features identification algorithm and a decision tree based on those structural features are constructed to support automatic recognition of the handwritten digit. Experimental result demonstrates that the proposed method is superior to other general methods in recognition rate and robustness.

In this paper, we propose an efficient on-line handwritten digit recognition base on Convex-Concave curves feature which is extracted by a chain code sequence using Smith-Waterman alignment algorithm. The time sequential signal from mouse movement on the writing pad is described as a sequence of consecutive points on the x-y plane. So, we can create data-set which are successive and time-sequential pixel position data by preprocessing. Data preprocessed is used for Convex-Concave curves feature extraction. This feature is scale-, translation-, and rotation-invariant. The extracted specific feature is fed to a Smith-Waterman alignment algorithm, which in turn classifies it as one of the nine digits. In comparison with backpropagation neural network, Smith-Waterman alignment has the more outstanding performance.
