Abstract

This paper proposes active handwriting models, inwhich kernel principal component analysis is applied tocapture nonlinear handwriting variations. In the recognitionphase, the chamfer distance transform and a dynamictunnelling algorithm (DTA) are employed to search for theoptimal shape parameters. The proposed methodology issuccessfully applied to a novel radical decomposition approachto the challenging problem of handwritten Chinesecharacter recognition.
