An Integrated Model for Offline Handwritten Chinese Character Recognition Based on Convolutional Neural Networks Abstract Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is an important technology in computer vision and pattern recognition that recognizes text embedded in images. Although the OCR achieved high accuracy for languages with alphabet-based writing systems, its performance on handwritten Chinese text is poor … Read more
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is an important technology in computer vision and pattern recognition that recognizes text embedded in images. Although the OCR achieved high accuracy for languages with alphabet-based writing systems, its performance on handwritten Chinese text is poor due to the complexity of the Chinese writing system. In order to improve the accuracy … Read more
I read more papers and started thinking about the proposal idea.
I have been working on writing the literature review for ten papers on the topic I chose, which is “Detect Chinese Text in Images”. I also sketched out the workflow for my project and discussed with my advisor about this.
I read another six papers and wrote the second annotated bibliography for my three ideas. After reading the papers for my three ideas and doing some research on the sources of datasets, I chose my first idea, which is “Detect Chinese Text in Images”, to be my research topic.
I read six papers for my three ideas. It was interesting that many research ideas have the same goal, but the ways they approach the problem are very different. For example, in the fall detection problem, some research ideas apply deep learning on images and videos, but others work on radio frequency instead of using … Read more
I am reading papers for my first idea, which is “Detect and Translate Chinese text in images”. One research that I read was about improving the performance of the Optical Character Recognition for Chinese books that are in precarious conditions. Instead of trying to enhance the image quality, their research applies N-gram, long short-term memory, … Read more
Name of Your Project A Real Time Fall Detection System to Assist the Elderly Using Deep Neural Networks What research topic/question your project is going to address? The elderly have a high chance of falling and get injured or faint. This might put them to danger if they are alone. One way that can help … Read more
Name of Your Project Driver Drowsiness Detection Using Deep Neural Networks What research topic/question your project is going to address? Driving while feeling sleepy or tired is one of the main causes of traffic accidents. One solution for this might be having a device in the car that monitor drivers’ behaviors and facial expressions and … Read more
Name of Your Project Detect and Translate Chinese text in images What research topic/question your project is going to address? Lately many translator applications have introduced the new feature that can scan a document or take an image with texts to detect and translate the texts into another language. Many of these applications perform well … Read more
