Abstract

A new text line location and separation algorithm for complex handwritten documents is proposed. The algorithm is based on the application of a fuzzy directional runlength. The proposed technique was tested on a variety of complex handwritten document images including postal parcel images and historical handwritten documents such as Newton's and Galileo's manuscripts. A preliminary testing showed a successful rate of 93% of the test set.
