Abstract

This paper presents a complete procedure for the segmentation of handwritten numeric strings. The procedure uses an hypothesis-then-verification strategy in which multiple segmentation algorithms based on contiguous row partition work sequentially on the binary image until an acceptable segmentation is obtained. At this purpose a new set of algorithms simulating a "drop falling" process is introduced. The experimental tests demonstrate the effectiveness of the new algorithms in obtaining high-confidence segmentation hypotheses.
