  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a knowledge-based approach for locating destination address block (DAB) on handwritten Korean envelopes by merging and splitting method. DAB of the input envelope image is extracted by an iterative procedure based on the knowledge acquired from the statistical feature analysis of the various handwritten Korean envelopes. Experimental results reveal that the proposed approach is very effective for address block location on handwritten Korean envelopes
