26 Apr 1999TL;DR: In this paper, an imaginary stroke is used to link from the ending point of each actual stroke of an input handwritten character to the starting point of the subsequent actual stroke thereof to form a single line.
Abstract: In accordance with the present character recognition method, an imaginary stroke is used to link from the ending point of each actual stroke of an input handwritten character to the starting point of the subsequent actual stroke thereof to form a single line. Then a feature level is detected for specifying the position of a turn of the single line and the direction and angle of the turn at the position. According to the detected position of the turn, the detected feature level is patterned on input mesh memories which are in turn compared with a previously formed dictionary mesh memory to calculate the resemblance of the input handwritten character to each handwritten character in a dictionary database. The handwritten character in the dictionary database that has the closest, calculated resemblance is recognized as the input handwritten character. According to the present method, an imaginary stroke added to an input handwritten character also allows correct recognition of a character with each stroke written cursively.

TL;DR: Groundplan estimation in the exemplar method is an extension of parsimony, and the state assignment is therefore equivocal, reflecting the notion that the parsimony criterion alone cannot always distinguish a single state present in a hypothetical ancestor.
