Can anyone suggest an approach or method for the separation of overlapping and touching lines within handwritten documents?

I can segment text lines. Now i want to separate the connected lines.

Here it is my image:

Thanks

You try using the watershed over the distance function of the connected component set to separate them like here and here. Though its possible it could oversegment the result based on the shapes.

  • thank you for your response. I already try this method here some results obtained http://oi39.tinypic.com/adkprk.jpg and http://oi39.tinypic.com/29e6p86.jpg ... I not only separates the overlapping lines but also separate lines not overlap. I think this method is inappropriate for the shapes lines and I don't see how i could oversegment the result based on the shapes. – Bertrand Jan 20 '14 at 13:11
