Similar Handwritten Chinese Character Recognition Based on CNN-SVM
Lu Liu, Yang Pei-liang, Weiwei Sun, Jianwei Ma · 2017
For the past several decades, offline handwritten character recognition is widely and deeply studied. The requirements of the identification results are constantly improving in practical applications. However, the recognition rates of the similar handwritten Chinese characters are not very high in different writing style, writing environment and writing mode. We propose a method of combining deep convolution neural network and support vector machine together. Using the deep convolution neural network to learn and extract Chinese characters features automatically, and then the extracted features are classified and identified by the support vector machine. Experiments show that the deep convolution neural network can extract the features effectively, which avoided the shortage of artificial feature extraction, then using the support vector machine to classify and identify that, the accuracy rate is further improved.
