ABSTRACT
Reprint of Japanese historical manuscripts is time-consuming and requires training because they are hand-written, and may contain characters different from those currently used. We proposed a framework for assisting the human process for reading Japanese historical manuscripts and implemented a part of a system based on the framework as a Web service. In this paper, we present a graphical user interface (GUI) for the system and reprint process through the GUI. We conducted a user test to evaluate the system with the GUI by a questionnaire. From the results of the experiment, we confirmed that the GUI can be used intuitively but we also found points to be improved in the GUI.

Attempts to recognize anomalously deformed Kana in Japanese historical documents
HIP '17: Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Historical Document Imaging and ProcessingThis paper presents methods for three different tasks of recognizing anomalously deformed Kana in Japanese historical documents, which were contested by IEICE PRMU1 2017. The tasks have three levels: single character recognition, three Kana characters ...
Handwritten Cursive Jawi Character Recognition: A Survey
CGIV '08: Proceedings of the 2008 Fifth International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and VisualisationThe subject of cursive handwritten character recognition is still open to be studied because of its complex nature. Recognition of Arabic handwritten and its variants such as Farsi (Persian) and Urdu had been receiving considerable attention in recent ...
A combined method on the handwritten character recognition
ICDAR '95: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (Volume 1) - Volume 1Character recognition can be classified into on-line and off-line schemes. Although each scheme uses geometric features of characters for recognition, it is difficult to merge the two since they use different data inputs. The on-line character ...
