A handwriting model for syntactic recognition of cursive script
Marc Parizeau, Réjean Plamondon · 2003
Defines an operational handwriting model for online syntactic recognition of cursive script. To represent handwriting, it uses characteristic points linked together by segments of uniform curvature. The model acts as a guide for the extraction of attributed primitives used in shape grammars that model allographs and their adjacency rules. The handwriting model is evaluated by human readers in a comparative analysis of original cursive letter sequences versus their reconstructed traces. Also, its performance is measured in terms of mean reconstruction error and data compression rate.>
