Abstract

Abstract: This work describes a prototype-based online handwritten character recognition system and a two-phase recognition scheme aimed to speed up the recognition. In the first phase, the prototype set is pruned and ordered on the basis of preclassification performed with heavily down-sampled characters and prototypes. In the second phase, the final classification is performed without down-sampling by using the reduced set of prototypes. Two down-sampling methods, a linear and nonlinear one, have been analyzed to see their properties regarding the recognition time and accuracy.
