This paper compares two different methods to combine feature streams to improve the performance of offline handwritten text line recognition systems. In both methods a pixel-based and a geometric feature stream are combined. The first method integrates the feature streams at an early stage whereas in the second method a combination step at the decision level is applied. In the experiments, the early integration approach outperforms the decision level combination as well as recognisers built from the individual feature streams.
