SpiS-GAN generates realistic handwriting, improving recognition systems · 2 sources tracked

Researchers have developed SpiS-GAN, a novel framework for synthesizing realistic handwriting to address the scarcity of annotated data for training handwriting recognition systems. This generative adversarial network utilizes Star-Spiral Blocks and a Modulated Elliptical SpiralFC for its generator, enabling it to better trace complex cursive trajectories than previous MLP or CNN-based models. A key innovation is the Sobel-Regularized Edge Reconstruction Loss, which ensures clear stroke boundaries, and a Spiral-Modulated discriminator for detecting multi-domain flaws. Evaluations on English and Vietnamese datasets show SpiS-GAN surpasses existing methods in authenticity and style preservation, leading to improved performance in downstream handwriting recognition tasks. AI
