Abstract
In this paper, we have discussed the new method for Line Segmentation of Handwritten Hindi text. The method is based on header line detection, base line detection and contour following technique. No preprocessing like skew correction, thinning or noise removal has been done on the data. The purpose of this paper is three fold. Firstly, we explained by experiments that this method is suitable for fluctuating lines or variable skew lines of text. Also, we confirm that this method is invariant of non uniform skew between words in a line (non uniform text line skew). Secondly, the contour following after header line detection correctly separates some of the overlapped lines of text. Thirdly, this paper provides a brief review of text line segmentation techniques for handwritten text which can be very useful for the beginners who want to work on text line segmentation.Keywords
