Hello, I am the author of this article
OCR is considered a solved problem in general but not in entirety
A key component of it, Handwriting recognition is still a challenging problem.
Handwriting Text Recognition(HTR) is the task of recognizing handwritten human text
It involves using both Computer Vision and NLP
Every person has a different style of handwriting, thus solving the task of HTR is much more difficult than OCR
In this article I cover the progress of various techniques involved in solving HTR and all the SOTA models
In addition, I have discussed the way to train your own HTR model on your own dataset
Happy to discuss more if you have any queries about handwritten text recognition
- rahimnathwani 6y agoThanks for sharing. I'm curious about a couple of things: - What's your favourite way to preprocess images? Most real world data isn't already segmented into images of complete words, and that preprocessing step could affect the quality of the final output. - Do you know of any open source models I could use as a starting point to recognise text chunks with some 2D structure, like math equations that span multiple lines?
- clabpeobe32 6y agoWhy not use the industry standard acronyms? ICR intelligent character recognition is the term for extracting handwritten characters.
