Abstract

The availability of mobile devices without a keypad like Apple's iPad and iPhone grows continuously and the demand for sophisticated input methods with them. In this paper we present classifiers for on-line handwriting recognition based on SVM and kNN algorithms and provide a comparison of the different classifiers using the freely available handwriting corpus UjiPenchars2.We further investigate how their performance can be improved by parallelization and how these improvements can be utilized on a mobile device.
