Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents a modular system to recognize numerical amounts on Brazilian bank cheques. The system uses a segmentation-based recognition approach and the recognition function is based on a Recognition and Verification strategy. Our approach consists of combining the outputs from different levels such as segmentation, recognition and post-processing in a probabilistic model. A new feature set is introduced to the verifier module in order to detect segmentation effects such as over-segmentation and under-segmentation. Finally, we present experimental results on two databases: numerical amounts and NIST SD19. The latter aims at validating the concept of modular system and showing the robustness of the system over a well-known database.
