Abstract

In the Chinese handwriting recognition competition organized with the ICDAR 2011, four tasks were evaluated: offline and online isolated character recognition, offline and online handwritten text recognition. To enable the training of recognition systems, we announced the large databases CASIA-HWDB/OLHWDB. The submitted systems were evaluated on un-open datasets to report character-level correct rates. In total, we received 25 systems submitted by eight groups. On the test datasets, the best results (correct rates) are 92.18% for offline character recognition, 95.77% for online character recognition, 77.26% for offline text recognition, and 94.33% for online text recognition, respectively. In addition to the evaluation results, we provide short descriptions of the recognition methods and have brief discussions.
