Title
Keyword Spotting in Handwritten Documents Using Projections of Oriented Gradients
Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel approach for segmentation-based handwritten keyword spotting. The proposed approach relies upon the extraction of a simple yet efficient descriptor which is based on projections of oriented gradients. To this end, a global and a local word image descriptors, together with their combination, are proposed. Retrieval is performed using to the euclidean distance between the descriptors of a query image and the segmented word images. The proposed methods have been evaluated on the dataset of the ICFHR 2014 Competition on handwritten keyword spotting. Experimental results prove the efficiency of the proposed methods compared to several state-of-the-art techniques.
