In this paper we address the problem of the identification of text from noisy documents. We segment and identify handwriting from machine printed text because 1) handwriting in a document often indicates corrections, additions or other supplemental information that should be treated differently from the main body or body content, and 2) the segmentation and recognition techniques for machine printed text and handwriting are significantly different. Our novelty is that we treat noise as a separate class and model noise based on selected features. Trained Fisher classifiers are used to identify machine printed text and handwriting from noise. We further exploit context to refine the classification. A Markov random field (MRF) based approach is used to model the geometrical structure of the printed text, handwriting and noise to rectify the mis-classification. Experimental results show our approach is promising and robust, and can significantly improve the page segmentation results in noise documents.
