eLL: Enhanced Linked List-An Approach for Handwritten Text Segmentation

摘要

In document image analysis, the interesting and challenging lie in textline segmentation of handwritten documents. This work emphasizes on developing an enhanced handwritten textline segmentation technique based on the concept of linked list. The proposed system consists of three phases namely preprocessing, enhanced linked list (eLL), and morphology processing. The experiment is evaluated on a document containing handwritten Kannada and English script, and the results are promising.
