Document analysis and recognition; proceedings; 2v.9780769528229 Document analysis and recognition; proceedings; 2v. International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (9th: 2007: Parana, Brazil) Computer Society Press 2007 1293 pages $339.00 Paperback TK7882 A September 2007 conference provided an international forum for exchanging ideas on document analysis, understanding, retrieval, and applications in the field of pattern recognition. Document databases and forensic sciences are two new areas discussed at this year's conference. In Volume I of a two-volume set of papers from the conference, work is grouped in sections on handwriting recognition Handwriting recognition is the ability of a computer to receive intelligible handwritten input. The image of the written text may be sensed "off line" from a piece of paper by optical scanning (optical character recognition). , document retrieval The ability to search for documents by keywords and other attributes such as date and author. It implies that the documents have been indexed on all pertinent fields and that keywords have been chosen based upon title and textual content. See document imaging and document management system. , page segmentation, classifiers, online handwriting applications, Asian character recognition, graphics recognition, and image preprocessing A preliminary processing of data in order to prepare it for the primary processing or for further analysis. The term can be applied to any first or preparatory processing stage when there are several steps required to prepare data for the user. and classification. Volume II presents papers on writer identification and verification, symbol recognition, camera and video applications, layout analysis, Arabic recognition, and camera-based systems. Some of the areas examined include color document synthesis as a compression strategy, a modular approach to recognition of strokes in Telugu script, robust circle detection, and an incremental on-line parsing See parse. parsing - parser algorithm for recognizing sketching diagrams. Some other topics discussed include robust binarization for video text recognition, skew (1) The misalignment of a document or punch card in the feed tray or hopper that prohibits it from being scanned or read properly. (2) In facsimile, the difference in rectangularity between the received and transmitted page. detection for Chinese handwriting by horizontal stroke histogram histogram or bar graph Graph using vertical or horizontal bars whose lengths indicate quantities. Along with the pie chart, the histogram is the most common format for representing statistical data. , a data mining approach to reading order detection, spoken handwriting verification using statistical methods, and segmentation-based recovery of arbitrarily warped images.
