Disclosed herein is a method that improves the performance of handwriting recognition by calculating path scores so as to identify the path with the highest score as the basis for interpreting handwritten characters. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: detecting connected regions in an input image comprising handwritten characters; determining a plurality of segmentation positions of the input image; obtaining a plurality of recognition results for each segment of each path in the input image, wherein each recognition result represents a character candidate for the segment and each path comprises one or more segments; obtaining a plurality of scores corresponding to the recognition results; calculating scores for each path in the input image based on segment lengths and the scores corresponding to the recognition results; and using the path with the highest score to interpret the handwritten characters in the input image.
A method for handwriting recognition, comprising:
A computer program product comprising a computer usable non-transitory medium having a computer readable program code embedded therein for controlling a data processing apparatus, the computer readable program code configured to cause the data processing apparatus to execute a process for handwriting recognition, the process comprising:
