Segmentation

Open MartinThoma opened this issue 9 years ago • 22 comments

This is an example for segmentation:

Each symbol is in one color, different colors mean different symbols.

Features

A classifier which has to decide for two given strokes if they are in one symbol could use the following features:

  • [x] Features of the strokes (20 point coordinates per stroke, re-curvature, ink)
  • [x] Stroke distance (0 means they intersect)
  • [x] Time distance
  • [x] strokes in between (by time)
  • [ ] strokes in between (by geometry)
  • [ ] at most 4 strokes in a symbol?
  • [ ] symbols in between - only works if we are testing for a given segmentation

Problems

  • Delayed strokes (for correction / enhancement)
  • cursive handwriting

Segmentation by strokes seems to be possible for mathematical context.

Be aware that the order of strokes is not necessarily ordered (e.g. enlarging fraction strokes)

For http://www.martin-thoma.de/write-math/view/?raw_data_id=151305 the classifier predicted the segmentation [[0,4],[1,2,5,6],[3]]:

The yellow and black segmentation does not make any sense, as it would mean there is a symbol between strokes of one symbol. This should be part of the score of a segmentation.

Idea:

Analyze data

Search single-stroke symbols which are not "prefixes" of other symbols. For example. o is a prefix of \oplus or l is a prefix of t; 1 and 3 are prefixes of B. Those symbols should also be "stable" in the sense that their variance in stroke count is low. Let B be the group of those basic symbols. Examples of this group might be \sum, \int, (, ), \infty, 2, 6, 8, 9 0, a, c, e, ...

Results

91 of 374 symbols have a mean stroke count in [1,1.1] with a variance < 0.3. The variance is very likely caused by wild points.

Segment

Let L be the list of strokes which should be partitioned into a list of list of strokes, where each sublist is one symbol.

  1. In order to segment a recordings, analyze each stroke as a single-stroke symbol. Try to find if a stoke is a member of B. Those members of B are called L_B ⊆ L. Let L' = L \ L_B.
  2. Hard chunking ("hard" because there is nothing probabilistic):
    1. Find the biggest symbol (by bounding box, separately for width and height)
    2. Strokes whichs bounding boxes are more than α× max_width in width or more than α× max_height away belong to separate chunks. - α should be about 2 from my gut-feeling.
    3. Does any chunk have more than 8 strokes? → chunk it again (how? with smaller α?)
  3. Now each chunk is guaranteed to have at most 8 strokes. For each chunk:
    1. The 2-stroke classifier (belongs to the same symbol or not) can use new features
      • "symbols in between"
      • mean / median / min / max dimensions (with / height) of symbols in L_B
      • width / height of the bounding box of the symbol if the two strokes belonged to to the same symbol to find a segmentation of L'.
    2. Segment chunks as before

Idea: Use MST as described in http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/natural-log/papers/matsakis-MEng-99.pdf#page=37

  • Each node is the center of the bounding box of a stroke.
  • A segmentation of the strokes equals a segmentation of the minimum spanning tree of the fully connected graph given by the node centers → less possibilities to segment and segmentations make more sense

MartinThoma avatar Apr 14 '15 06:04 MartinThoma

Ideas:

  • Go through each stroke, classify it. If the net is sure enough (gives a probability over a threshold, e.g. > 95%), the recording will be segmented there
  • Problem: ħ is essentially a h, but the bar is added later
  • Fix: check if the stroke crosses other strokes
  • Problem: : and . (j, i are not so much a problem, because there is no symbol with with an j without dot can get confused)

Other problems:

  • Wrong segmentation: \doteq vs \stackrel{!}{=}
  • Wrong segmentation for "H": http://www.martin-thoma.de/write-math/view/?raw_data_id=324179

Single Stroke combinational recognizer

Classify symbols stroke-by-stroke. Lets say there are n symbols in total.

  1. Classify each stroke. Remember the scaling, x- and y- translation factors (3 factors)
  2. Train a two-stroke combination recognizer which takes 2*(n+3) input features and gives the probabilities for n classes. Problem: No way to remember which strokes were already drawn. Good: Stroke enhancements are probably not that bad.

MartinThoma avatar Jun 06 '15 06:06 MartinThoma

Stream segmentation

  • Start classifying when the first stroke arrives
  • Situation: You have the complete list of all entered strokes complete_data, the new entered stroke new_data, the old list of strokes old_data (old_data+new_data = complete_data) as well as a list of classification hypotheses old_segmentation_hyp (which is a list of dictionaries with keys probability and segmentation. segmentation is a list of dictionaries. Those dictionaries contain the keys symbol, strokes and probability)

Now one of two things could have happened:

  • The stroke belongs to a new symbol
  • The stroke belongs to a symbol which is already there

For new symbols, it is more likely that it is at the very right side of the bounding box of complete_data. It is also very likely that the new stroke did not cross any old stroke.

If the new stroke belongs to an existing symbol, then then it has to be "next" to the symbol. "next" in this context means there is not another symbol in between (though it might be around, e.g. sqrt).

What about using a varying size bounding box ? Physically & historically, each symbol are separated because else it would become unreadable. I think it's a good idea to compute a bounding box while a symbol is being drawn whose size is adjusted by the current stroke length. When the pen is lifted, one has to assume to either "start a new symbol" or "concatenate existing symbol". This decision can be based on a bounding box whose shape can be trained, but with a size that's dynamic. For example, when drawing the "integral" symbol, the bounding box is an horizontally thin and vertically tall rectangle that would be recognized by the network, but the size itself is extracted from the current symbol's size. When a new stoke is produced, and it intersects a previous stroke's bounding box, you can likely concatenate it with the previous symbol.
