| Abstract | This paper presents a word shape analysis approach for word recognition that is independent of character segmentation. The algorithm receives a word image and a lexicon. A set of global and local shape features are extracted from the image and matched with words in the lexicon by a set of highly specialized classifiers. A ranking combination strategy is applied to produce a consensus ranking. The proposed method was applied to a test set of 827 images scanned on a postal OCR, with a lexicon of 186 words. A 96% correct rate within the top 10 choices was achieved. |
