A deep learning approach for recognizing and solving handwritten mathematical equations
摘要
Recognizing handwritten equations is considerably more challenging than identifying printed ones, primarily due to variations in writing styles. Even though there have been recent improvements in handwriting recognition for things like equation solvers and automation, it is still hard for machines to understand a handwritten mathematical expression (HME). This paper presents a deep learning model for recognizing and solving handwritten equations, as well as its graphical user interface (GUI). A manually constructed large dataset comprising approximately 66k images of digits, mathematical symbols, and characters is utilized, with a fine-tuned InceptionV3 model employed for image classification and segmentation. The system is designed to extract handwritten equations from an image, perform character recognition, and generate the roots of the polynomial equation up to degree four. According to the findings, the trained model achieves remarkable accuracy in recognizing and solving handwritten equations, with over 94% accuracy on the training set. By eliminating the possibility of human error, automatic handwritten equation solvers provide more accurate results than manual methods.
