Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In pattern recognition problems, the type of features to be used is equally important as the type of classifieIrs. In this paper, it is shown that line features in eight orientations extracted by orientational DOG (Difference-OF-two-Gaussian) filters give a very high recognition rate in unconstrained handwritten numerals recognition with a standard back-propagation network. The unconstrained handwritten numerals database ETL-1 developed by Electro-Technical Laboratory of Japan was used to test the performance of the network. In our experiments, the recognition rate as high as 99.1% could be achieved for samples in a test set.
