This paper addresses the automatic recognition of handwritten temperature values in weather records. The localization of table cells is based on line detection using projection profiles. Further, a stroke-preserving line removal method which is based on gradient images is proposed. The presented digit recognition utilizes features which are extracted using a set of filters and a Support Vector Machine classifier. It was evaluated on the MNIST and the USPS dataset and our own database with about 17,000 RGB digit images. An accuracy of 99.36 records.
