Word Spotting as a Service: An Unsupervised and Segmentation-Free Framework for Handwritten Documents
JOURNAL OF IMAGING(2021)
摘要
Word spotting strategies employed in historical handwritten documents face many challenges due to variation in the writing style and intense degradation. In this paper, a new method that permits efficient and effective word spotting in handwritten documents is presented that relies upon document-oriented local features that take into account information around representative keypoints and a matching process that incorporates a spatial context in a local proximity search without using any training data. The method relies on a document-oriented keypoint and feature extraction, along with a fast feature matching method. This enables the corresponding methodological pipeline to be both effectively and efficiently employed in the cloud so that word spotting can be realised as a service in modern mobile devices. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method in terms of its matching accuracy, along with its fast retrieval time, respectively, are shown after a consistent evaluation of several historical handwritten datasets.
