Abstract
A method and system for identifying boundaries of characters in handwritten text by classifying segment strokes provides improved performance in a handwriting recognition system. A segment stroke is a portion of handwritten text which includes a boundary between two characters. The segment stroke is recognized by the same method used to recognized characters. Recognition of a segment stroke is accomplished by training a learning machine to act as a classifier which implements a discriminant function based on a polynomial expansion.
