Handwriting

Pages : 395
Book Description
This book has the primary goal of presenting and discussing some recent advances and ongoing developments in the Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) field, resulting from works done on different HTR-related topics for the achievement of more accurate and efficient recognition systems. Nowadays, there is an enormous worldwide interest in HTR systems, which is mostly driven by the emergence of new portable devices incorporating handwriting recognition functions. Others interests are the biometric identification systems employing handwritten signatures, as well as the requirements from cultural heritage institutions like historical archives and libraries in order to preserve their large collections of historical (handwritten) documents. The book is organized into two sections: the first one is mainly devoted to describing the current state-of-the-art applications in HTR and the last advances in some of the steps involved in HTR workflow (that is, preprocessing, feature extraction, recognition engines, etc.), whereas the second focuses more on some relevant HTR-related applications.In more depth, the first part offers an overview of the current state-of-the-art applications of HTR technology and introduces the new challenges and research opportunities in the field. Besides, it provides a general discussion of currently ongoing approaches towards solving the underlying search problems on the basis of existing methods for HTR in terms of both accuracy and efficiency. In particular, there are chapters especially focused on image thresholding and enhancement, text image preprocessing techniques for historical handwritten documents and feature extraction methods for HTR. Likewise, in line with the breakout success of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in the field, a whole chapter is devoted to describing the designing of HTR systems based on DNNs. Finally, a chapter listing the most used benchmarking datasets for HTR is also included, providing detailed information about which types of HTR systems (on/offline) and features are commonly considered for each of them.In the second part, several systems -- also developed on the basis of the fundamental concepts and general approaches outlined in the first part -- are described for several HTR-related applications. Presented in the corresponding chapters, these applications cover a wide spectrum of scenarios: mathematical formulae recognition, scripting language recognition, multimodal handwriting-speech recognition, hardware design for online HTR, student performance evaluation through handwriting analysis, performance evaluation methods, keyword spotting, and handwritten signature verification systems.Last but not least, it is important to remark that to a large extent, this book is the result of works carried out by several researchers in the Handwritten Text Recognition field.Therefore, it owes credit to these researchers that have directly contributed to their ideas, discussions and technical collaborations, and in general who, in one manner or another, have made it possible.

Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309142393
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Handwriting Analyst's Toolkit
Author: Peter West
Publisher: B.E.S. Publishing
ISBN: 9780764127922
Category : Graphology
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Learn to read your emotions and desires, and those of people you deal with every day. A graphology expert instructs readers in the basics of handwriting analysis. He shows how to employ a step-by-step method that gives a reliable description of a subject, based on a sample of his or her handwriting. Just as our voices reveal much about our emotions, our motives, and our needs, so too does our handwriting present a psychological profile to the analyst who knows how to decipher it. A simple but clever set of tools, devised by the author, is enclosed with this book. Its components are: A protractor to measure angles of handwriting slant and gauge emotions at the time of writing, as well as to interpret enduring personality traits A gauge for estimating the zones into which each part of a handwritten letter falls A rule for measuring any letter�s size and spacing All components in the tool kit are printed on sturdy, transparent acetate, to be used as an overlay on handwriting samples. An opening chapter presents an overview of handwriting analysis, discussing handwriting pressure, size, spacing, slant, and the qualities these features indicate. Subsequent chapters discuss what handwriting reveals about a subject�s public life and inner life. A final chapter offers an at-a-glance guide to decoding psychological meanings underlying the various ways in which a subject shapes each letter of the alphabet. This fascinating book provides a key to self-understanding and the understanding of others. More than 250 instructive color illustrations.
