# Handwriting Recognition System

This repository is the Tensorflow implementation of the Handwriting Recognition System described in [Handwriting Recognition of Historical Documents with Few Labeled Data](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325993975_Handwriting_Recognition_of_Historical_Documents_with_Few_Labeled_Data) (please cite the paper if you use this code in your research paper). This code was also used for the baseline system in [Fine-tuning Handwriting Recognition systems with Temporal Dropout](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348958179_Fine-tuning_Handwriting_Recognition_systems_with_Temporal_Dropout).

This code is free for academic and research use. For commercial use of the code please contact [Edgard Chammas](mailto:[email protected]).

To help run the system, sample images from [ICDAR2017 Competition on Handwritten Text Recognition on the READ Dataset](https://scriptnet.iit.demokritos.gr/competitions/8/) are added.



## Configuration

General configuration can be found in config.py

CNN-specific architecture configuration can be found in cnn.py

## Training

```

python train.py

```

This will generate a text log file and a Tensorflow summary.



## Decoding

```

python test.py

```

This will generate, for each image, the line transcription. The output will be written to decoded.txt by default.

```

python compute_probs.py

```

This will generate, for each image, the posterior probabilities at each timestep. Files will be stored in Probs by default.

## Dependencies

- Tensorflow

- OpenCV-Python
