摘要
A successful handwritten word recognition (HWR) system using Variable Duration Hidden Markov Model (VDHMM) and the PD-HMM strategy is easy to implement. The central theme of this paper is to show that if the duration statistics are computed, it could be utilized to implement an MD-HMM approach for better experimental results. This paper also describes a PD-HMM based HWR system where the duration statistics are not explicitly computed, but results are still comparable to VDHMM based HWR scheme [1].
