| Abstract: | In this paper, we present a trainable approach to
discriminate between machine-printed and handwritten
text. An integrated system able to localize text areas and
split them in text-lines is used. A set of simple and easyto-
compute structural characteristics that capture the
differences between machine-printed and handwritten
text-lines is introduced. Experiments on document images
taken from IAM-DB and GRUHD databases show a
remarkable performance of the proposed approach that
requires minimal training data. |
