Abstract	With the popularity and importance of document images as an information source, information retrieval in document image databases has become a challenge. In this paper, an approach with the capability of matching partial word images to address two issues in document image retrieval: word spotting and similarity measurement between documents has been proposed. Initially, each word image is represented by a primitive string. Then, an inexact string matching technique is utilized to measure the similarity between the string generated of the query word with the word string generated from the document. Based on the similarity, we can find out how a word image is relevant to the other and, can be decided whether one is a portion of the other. In order to deal with various character fonts, a primitive string which is tolerant to serif and font differences to represent a word image has been used. Using this technique of inexact string matching, our method is able to successfully handle the problem of heavily touching characters. From the experimental results on a variety of document image databases it is confirmed that the proposed approach is feasible, valid, and efficient in document image retrieval.
