This a project to demonstrate handwriting recognition input. Key technologies used in this project:
- RBF SVM from LIBSVM
- Simple preprocessing
- duplicate point removal
- character data resampled to 12 points / char
- normalization of data
- Simple feature extraction
- 4 features per point
- normalized (x,y) of pen coordinates
- sin(dx/dy) and cos(dx/dy) to estimate pen direction
- SVM models trained with data from Unipen database
- different models for numbers, small abc, big abc and special characters
- 15 samples / char for numbers
- 30 samples / char for abc and ABC models
- X samples / char for special characters
