The one-dimensional nature of contour representations presents interesting challenges for processing of images for handwritten word recognition. In this paper, we discuss the issues of determination of upper and lower contours of the word, determination of significant local extrema on the contour, and determination of reference lines from contour representations of handwritten words.

Index Terms:

Handwritten word recognition, holistic approaches, contour representation, chain-code, image preprocessing
