TLDR
Intense research performed over the past 15 years to answer the most pressing recognition problems is described and the man-machine interfaces made possible by online handwriting recognition and anticipated advances in both hardware and software are discussed.Abstract:
For large-alphabet languages, like Japanese, handwriting input using an online recognition technique is essential for input accuracy and speed. However, there are serious problems that prevent high recognition accuracy of unconstrained handwriting. First, the thousands of ideographic Japanese characters of Chinese origin (called Kanji) can be written with wide variations in the number and order of strokes and significant shape distortions. Also, writing box-free recognition of characters is required to create a better man-machine interface. Intense research performed over the past 15 years to answer the most pressing recognition problems is described. Prototype systems are also described. The man-machine interfaces made possible by online handwriting recognition and anticipated advances in both hardware and software are discussed. >read more
