Abstract

The processing of the large amount of hand-written archive documents is an unsolved problem. We propose a semi-automatic text recognition approach for those documents containing a limited size of vocabulary. Our approach is word based and uses the Scale Invariant Feature Transform for finding and describing saliency points of hand-written words. For testing we used a book of a Central-European city census of the year 1771 containing mainly Christian and family names. At reasonable database size we could achieve about 80% recognition rate.
