On-line recognition of handprinted characters: Survey and beta tests

摘要

In the first part of this paper, we present a survey of the state of the art in on-line handprinted character recognition technology. Data preprocessing and classification, and character recognition results are examined. A number of character recognition systems are compared. The second part of this paper describes beta tests carried out on a commercial system. The results are analysed with particular attention to the effects of handwriting variability and constraints imposed, and to the human factors involved.
