Abstract

This paper describes a method for building a compact online Markov random field (MRF) recognizer for large handwritten Japanese character set using structured dictionary representation and vector quantization (VQ) technique. The method splits character patterns into radicals, whose models by MRF are shared by different character classes such that a character model is constructed from the constituent radical models. Many distinct radicals are shared by many character classes with the result that the storage space of model dictionary can be saved. Moreover, in order to further compress the parameters, VQ technique to cluster parameter sequences of the mean vectors and covariance matrixes for MRF unary features and binary features as well as the transition probabilities of each state into groups was employed. By sharing a common parameter sequence for each group, the dictionary of the MRF recognizer can be greatly compressed without recognition accuracy loss.
