Method of combining the classification powers of several classifiers is regarded as a general problem in various application areas of patternrecognition, and a systematic investigation has been made. Possible solutions to the problem can be divided into three categories according to the levels of information available from the various classifiers. Four approaches are proposed based on different methodologies for solving this problem. One is suitable for combining individual classifiers such as Bayesian, k-NN and various distance classifiers. The other three could be used for combining any kind of individual classifiers. On applying these methods to combine several classifiers for recognizing totally unconstrained handwritten numerals, the experimental results show that the performance of individual classifiers could be improved significantly. For example, on the U.S. zipcode database, the result of 98.9% recognition with 0.90% substitution and 0.2% rejection can be obtained, as well as a high reliability with 95% recognition, 0% substitution and 5% rejection. These results compared favorably to other research groups in Europe, Asia, and North America.

For patternrecognition, when a single classifier cannot provide a decision which is 100 percent correct, multiple classifiers should be able to achieve higher accuracy. This is because group decisions are generally better than any individual's. Based on this concept, a method called the ''Behavior-Knowledge Space Method'' was developed, which can aggregate the decisions obtained from individual classifiers and derive the best final decisions from the statistical point of view. Experiments on 46,451 samples of unconstrained handwritten numerals have shown that this method achieves very promising performances and outperforms voting, Bayesian, and Dempster-Shafer approaches.

This paper gives an assessment of the current state of the art in handwriting recognition. It summarizes the lessons learned, the difficulties involved, and the challenges ahead. Based on a review of the recent achievements in off-line computer recognition of totally unconstrained handwritten characters, and extensive research, the authors attempt to identify new frontiers for research which may lead to further breakthroughs in this field. They will present some evidences and novel ideas on ways of stretching the limits of handwriting recognition systems aiming at outperforming human beings.

Recently,robust sparse coding achieves high recognition rates on face recognition( FR),even when dealing with occluded images. However,robust sparse coding is that the coefficients are guaranteed global sparse when solving the sparse coefficients. In this paper,the coefficient vector is divided into multiple regions. Then,the elements in the object region are enabled to approximate global maximum by adding two constraint conditions( the maximal element of coefficient vector is in the object region; the sum of elements in the object region is the maximum value among all regions),which makes the distribution of sparse coefficient adapt to different classes of testing images. The efficacy of the proposed approach is verified on publicly available databases( i. e.,AR and Extended Yale B).Furthermore, the proposed method still can achieve a good performance when the training samples are limited.
In this paper, an efficient approach toward face recognition is presented. The proposed model is invariant to pose, expression, scale, illumination, and translation with the application of different techniques and imp...
