Graphical Symbol Recognition
KC Santosh, Laurent Wendling · Wiley Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering · 2015
This article focuses on graphical symbol recognition, one of the key issues in document image processing. Graphical symbol recognition is a sub‐field of a larger research domain: pattern recognition. The domain covers several approaches (such as statistical, structural and syntactic) and specially designed symbol recognition techniques inspired by real‐world industrial problems. The article overviews research problems, state‐of‐the‐art methods that convey basic steps as well as prominent concepts, techniques, and research directions that are associated with graphical symbol recognition.
