Summary

The paper describes a newly presented hybrid method for high efficiency in script image feature extraction. The recognition rate was about 82% for very large number of scripts per class. However, it has reached even 100% in some cases with a smaller number of scripts per class. The system contains two projection-based methods for image characteristics extraction presented by very simple feature vectors and one image descriptor. A specially worked out thinning algorithm for the recognition system has simplified the feature extracting procedure as it provides a continuous one-pixel width skeleton of the script, which is essential for the simple-projection approach.
