"Much of pattern recognition theory and practice, including methods such as Support Vector Machines, has emerged in an attempt to solve the character recognition problem. This book is written by very well-known academics who have worked in the field for many years and have made significant and lasting contributions. The book will no doubt be of value to students and practitioners."-Sargur N. Srihari, SUNY Distinguished Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, and Director, Center of Excellence for Document Analysis and Recognition (CEDAR), University at Buffalo, The State University of New York "The disciplines of optical character recognition and document image analysis have a history of more than forty years. In the last decade, the importance and popularity of these areas have grown enormously. Surprisingly, however, the field is not well covered by any textbook. This book has been written by prominent leaders in the field. It includes all important topics in optical character recognition and document analysis, and is written in a very coherent and comprehensive style. This book satisfies an urgent need. It is a volume the community has been awaiting for a long time, and I can enthusiastically recommend it to everybody working in the area."-Horst Bunke, Professor, Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics (IAM), University of Bern, Switzerland In Character Recognition Systems, the authors provide practitioners and students with the fundamental principles and state-of-the-art computational methods of reading printed texts and handwritten materials. The information presented is analogous to the stages of a computer recognition system, helping readers master the theory and latest methodologies used in character recognition in a meaningful way. This book covers:* Perspectives on the history, applications, and evolution of Optical Character Recognition (OCR)* The most widely used pre-processing techniques, as well as methods for extracting character contours and skeletons* Evaluating extracted features, both structural and statistical* Modern classification methods that are successful in character recognition, including statistical methods, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), structural methods, and multi-classifier methods* An overview of word and string recognition methods and techniques* Case studies that illustrate practical applications, with descriptions of the methods and theories behind the experimental results Each chapter contains major steps and tricks to handle the tasks described at-hand. Researchers and graduate students in computer science and engineering will find this book useful for designing a concrete system in OCR technology, while practitioners will rely on it as a valuable resource for the latest advances and modern technologies that aren't covered elsewhere in a single book.

This book explores the key principles and challenges of implementing the socio-ecological transition, with a particular focus on Quebec, Canada. It addresses these issues from both research and educational perspectives, offering actionable strategies to accelerate this transition across the province's various economic sectors. The book's structure aligns with the CIRODD (Interdisciplinary Research Center for Operationalization of Sustainable Development) scientific program, organized into two major sections and 11 thematic areas. The objective is to showcase the latest advancements in socio-ecological transition, drawing on a decade of research contributions from CIRODD. This book edition will highlight key innovations, emerging trends, and impactful solutions that have shaped the field, demonstrating CIRODD’s pivotal role in driving sustainable transformation. Section 1 delves into practical interventions and strategies for citizen engagement, exploring transition initiatives, urban planning, and collaborative knowledge-building models. It brings together theoretical, practical, and experiential insights, emphasizing the vital role of research and the arts in facilitating the socio-ecological transition. Section 2 equips readers with the necessary tools to support this transition, offering models and methods for analyzing complex systems. It highlights innovative digital approaches for developing circular and sustainable business models. This is an open access book.
