Abstract:

This paper investigates three different rejection strategies for offline handwritten sentence recognition. The rejection strategies are implemented as a postprocessing step of a Hidden Markov Model based text recognition system and are based on confidence measures derived from a list of candidate sentences produced by the recognizer. The better performing confidence measures make use of the fact that the recognizer integrates a word bigram language model. Experimental results on extracted sentences from the IAM database validate the effectiveness of the proposed rejection strategies. 1.
