09 - Segmentation incrémentale d'une base de mots multiscripteur en lettres

This paper presents a segmentation system that automatically splits into letters a set of handwritten words . This is made in order to built a learning base for an on-line recognition system dedicated to handwritten words . The drawn words to be segmented are entered on a digitizing tablet before being converted into a sequence of vectors. At last, the corresponding alphabetic word is associated to each of these drawn words. The description of our segmentation system is followed by an experimental test of letter segmentation applied on a database of ]0000 words coming from 10 different scriptors .
