# H̶a̶n̶d̶w̶r̶i̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ - A collection of handwritten word images, each struck through using various styles This database may be used for non-commercial research purposes only. If you publish material based on this database - please cite:Zesch, T., & Gold, C. (2024). H̶a̶n̶d̶w̶r̶i̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ - various struck-through handwritten words [Data set]. Zenodo. Structure: There are two types of sources: genuine and semi-genuineWhile genuine includes struck-through handwritten images that are made accidentally, semi-genuine were made on purpose and conducted as the main part of this dataset. Genuine: For the genuine part, only the strike-out_genuine.txt file exists. It links to struck-through words of the datasets: Handwritten ASAP Short Answer Scoring (published at: https://zenodo.org/records/8088866), IAM, and GoBo (published at: https://zenodo.org/records/8085511).The struck-through types were annotated by 2 annotators and a gold version was created. The file has the following structure:path status gold a1 a2 a3e.g.:genuine/Handwritten ASAP/SAS_3_6818_0.png ok wa wa? wa? waThe image is part of the Handwritten ASAP dataset and refers to image "AS_3_6818_0.png". The status is ok and the gold label is "wa" which stands for wavy (see list below). The "?" indicates unsure annotation of both annotators independently. Semi-genuine: 17 writers participated. 9 male, 8 femaleThe writers were asked to write 12 words for each struck-through type. In sum over 2000 images of handwritten struck-through words (including none) were collected, with 204 images each type. An instruction was presented to the writers including examples. types for strike-out: no: none sh: single-horizontal so: single-oblique mh: multiple-horizontal mo: multiple-oblique cr: crossed ci: circled wa: wavy zi: zigzag bl: blackened Afterward, the writers struck through the handwritten words according to the stated type.The images are published in "boxes", "gray images" and "raw images" in color as scanned. The description file "Strike-out_semi-genuine.txt" references the "boxes" only and describes the path, status, and struck-through type of each image. Sidenote: The writers were asked to note if the struck-through type was their preferred type and if it felt natural to use this type or unnatural.

(2024). 手写体（Handwriting）—— 各类带删除线手写单词 [数据集]. Zenodo. 数据集结构： 本数据集包含两类来源样本：真实删除样本与半真实删除样本。其中，真实删除样本为意外产生的带删除线手写图像，而半真实删除样本为刻意制作的手写内容，为本数据集的核心组成部分。 ### 真实删除子集 真实删除子集仅包含`strike-out_genuine.txt`标注文件。该文件关联的数据集包括：手写ASAP简答题评分数据集（发布地址：https://zenodo.org/records/8088866）、IAM数据集以及GoBo数据集（发布地址：https://zenodo.org/records/8085511）。带删除线的手写样式由2名标注员（annotator）进行标注，并生成了金标准标注版本。 该标注文件的结构如下：路径 状态 金标准标签 标注员1 标注员2 标注员3 示例：genuine/Handwritten ASAP/SAS_3_6818_0.png ok wa wa? wa? wa 该图像属于手写ASAP数据集，对应图像文件名为"AS_3_6818_0.png"。其状态为"ok"，金标准标签为"wa"，代表波浪形删除线（详见下文类型列表）。标注中的"?"表示两名标注员均对该标注存在独立疑问。 ### 半真实删除子集 共有17名受试者参与实验，其中男性9名，女性8名。实验要求受试者为每种删除线类型书写12个单词。最终共收集到超过2000张带删除线的手写单词图像（包含无删除线样本），每种删除线类型对应204张图像。实验前向受试者提供了包含示例的操作说明。 #### 删除线类型定义 no：无删除线 sh：单水平线删除 so：单斜线删除 mh：多水平线删除 mo：多斜线删除 cr：交叉线删除 ci：圆圈删除 wa：波浪形删除 zi：之字形删除 bl：涂黑删除 随后，受试者按照指定的删除线类型为手写单词添加删除线。数据集以三种形式发布：带边界框的图像、灰度图像以及彩色扫描原始图像。描述文件`Strike-out_semi-genuine.txt`仅关联带边界框的图像，并记录了每张图像的路径、状态及对应删除线类型。 ### 补充说明 实验要求受试者记录该删除线类型是否为其偏好使用的类型，以及使用该类型时是否感到自然。关于该部分的更多细节可查阅配套说明PDF文件。
