Data collection is the first step in handwritten character recognition systems, and the data quality collected effects the whole systems efficiency. As the necessary subsystem of on-line handwritten character/word recognition system, a Uyghur handwritten character collection system is designed and implemented with Visual C++ based on the nature of Uyghur handwriting. Uyghur handwritings is encoded by 8 direction tendency and stored in extension stroke file. And they are collected based on the content of Text Prompt File. From experimental results, it can be concluded that the handwriting collection system indicates its strong validity and efficiency during the collection of Uyghur handwriting.

Yorùbá language is one of the three main languages that is been spoken in Nigeria. It is a tonal language that carries an accent on the vowel alphabets. There are twenty-five (25) alphabets in Yorùbá language with one of the alphabets a digraph (GB). Due to the difficulty in typing handwritten Yorùbá documents, there is a need to develop a handwritten recognition system that can convert the handwritten texts to digital format. This study discusses the offline Yorùbá handwritten word recognition system (OYHWR) that recognizes Yorùbá uppercase alphabets. Handwritten characters and words were obtained from different writers using the paint application and M708 graphics tablets. The characters were used for training and the words were used for testing. Pre-processing was done on the images and the geometric features of the images were extracted using zoning and gradient-based feature extraction. Geometric features are the different line types that form a particular character such as the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. The geometric features used are the number of horizontal lines, number of vertical lines, number of right diagonal lines, number of left diagonal lines, total length of all horizontal lines, total length of all vertical lines, total length of all right slanting lines, total length of all left-slanting lines and the area of the skeleton. The characters are divided into 9 zones and gradient feature extraction was used to extract the horizontal and vertical components and geometric features in each zone. The words were fed into the support vector machine classifier and the performance was evaluated based on recognition accuracy. Support vector machine is a two-class classifier, hence a multiclass SVM classifier least square support vector machine (LSSVM) was used for word recognition. The one vs one strategy and RBF kernel were used and the recognition accuracy obtained from the tested words ranges between 66.7%, 83.3%, 85.7%, 87.5%, and 100%. The low recognition rate for some of the words could be as a result of the similarity in the extracted features.

Activity Recognition (AR) is an active research topic focused on detecting human actions and behaviours in smart environments. In this work, we present the on-line activity recognition platform DOLARS (Distributed On-line Activity Recognition System) where data from heterogeneous sensors are evaluated in real time, including binary, wearable and location sensors. Different descriptors and metrics from the heterogeneous sensor data are integrated in a common feature vector whose extraction is developed by a sliding window approach under real-time conditions. DOLARS provides a distributed architecture where: (i) stages for processing data in AR are deployed in distributed nodes, (ii) temporal cache modules compute metrics which aggregate sensor data for computing feature vectors in an efficient way; (iii) publish-subscribe models are integrated both to spread data from sensors and orchestrate the nodes (communication and replication) for computing AR and (iv) machine learning algorithms are used to classify and recognize the activities. A successful case study of daily activities recognition developed in the Smart Lab of The University of Almería (UAL) is presented in this paper. Results present an encouraging performance in recognition of sequences of activities and show the need for distributed architectures to achieve real time recognition.

SummaryIn disassembly tasks, due to the large variety of objects and the different positions and orientations in which they appear, the disassembly trajectories supplied on-line by a human operator or an automatic recognition system can contain large errors. The classical compliant control methods turn out to be insufficient to eliminate sticking which is due to these errors. This paper presents a compliant control method for disassembly of non-elastic parts in non-elastic environments which adopts the trajectories according to realised motion. In case of sticking a new direction of motion is searched for until the manipulated part is set into motion.

This paper presents a real-time constraint-free handprinted character recognition system based on a structural approach. After the preprocessing operation, a chain code is extracted to represent the character. The classification is based on the use of a processor dedicated to string comparison. The average computation time to recognize a character is about 0.07 seconds. During the learning step, the user can define any set of characters or symbols to be recognized by the system. Thus there are no constraints on the handprinting. The experimental tests show a high degree of accuracy (96%) for writer-dependent applications. Comparisons with other system and methods are discussed. We also present a comparison between the processor used in this system and the Wagner and Fischer algorithm. Finally, we describe some applications of the system.
