Abstract

In this paper, we propose a framework of two-stage combination method to recognize unconstrained handwritten numerals. It uses multiple combination methods simultaneously unlike the existing methods with only one combination algorithm. The recognizers are first combined by several combination methods at the same time, and the results of them are finally combined by a combination method to generate the final result of recognition. Five recognizers and eight combination methods are used to make a good framework of two-stage combination. The proposed framework was experimented and evaluated with CENPARMI and CEDAR databases. The results showed that we could get the best performance by exploiting the combination methods of different classes at the first stage and then by combining the results of the previous stage by means of Bayesian method.
