In this study, an improved HMM based recognition model is proposed for online English and Korean handwritten characters. The pattern elements of the handwriting model are sub character strokes and ligatures. To deal with the problem of handwriting style variations, a modified Hierarchical Clustering approach is introduced to partition different writing styles into several classes. For each of the English letters and each primitive grapheme in Korean characters, one HMM that models the temporal and spatial variability of the handwriting is constructed based on each class. Then the HMMs of Korean graphemes are concatenated to form the Korean character models. The recognition of handwritten characters is implemented by a modified level building algorithm, which incorporates the Korean character combination rules within the efficient network search procedure. Due to the limitation of the HMM based method, a post-processing procedure that takes the global and structural features into account is proposed. Experiments showed that the proposed recognition system achieved a high writer independent recognition rate on unconstrained samples of both English and Korean characters. The comparison with other schemes of HMM-based recognition was also performed to evaluate the system.

Inspired by the rapid development of deep learning and online biometrics-based authentication, we propose a handwritten one-time password authentication system which employs deep learning-based handwriting recognition and writer verification techniques. We design a convolutional neural network to recognize handwritten digits and a Siamese network to compute the similarity between the input handwriting and the genuine user's handwriting. We propose the first application of the second edition of NIST Special Database 19 for a writer verification task. Our system achieves 98.58% accuracy in the handwriting recognition task, and about 93% accuracy in the writer verification task based on four input images. We believe the proposed handwriting-based biometric technique has potential for use in a variety of online authentication services under the FIDO framework.

In the cursive handwriting recognition process, script trajectory segmentation and modeling represent an important task for large or open lexicon context that becomes more complicated in multi-writer applications. In this paper, we will present a developed system of Arabic online handwriting modeling based on graphemes segmentation and the extraction of its geometric features. The main contribution consists of adapting the Fourier descriptors to model the open trajectory of the segmented graphemes. To segment the trajectory of the handwriting, the system proceeds by first detecting its baseline by checking combined geometric and logic conditions. Then, the detected baseline is used as a topologic reference for the extraction of particular points that delimit the graphemes' trajectories. Each segmented grapheme is then represented by a set of relevant geometric features that include the vector of the Fourier descriptors for trajectory shape modeling, normalized metric parameters that model the grapheme dimensions, its position in respect to the baseline, and codes for the description of its associated diacritics.

Currently most of the online handwriting recongition system are using free style input method. However, it has disadvantages of ill-recongition. In this paper, we present a new online Korean HAndwriting recongition system(KOHA) which give a slice restriction and remove the ill-recongition. KOHA uses boundary lines of input window and the stenography is possible with KOHA. Also, KOHA has the advantage of Unistroke.

We analyze the online Hangul handwriting recognition problem (HHR) and present solutions based on recurrent neural networks. The solutions are organized according to the three kinds of sequence labeling problem - sequence classifications, segment classification, and temporal classification, with additional consideration of the structural constitution of Hangul characters. We present a stacked gated recurrent unit (GRU) based model as the natural HHR solution in the sequence classification level. The proposed model shows 86.2% accuracy for recognizing 2350 Hangul characters and 98.2% accuracy for recognizing the six types of Hangul characters. We show that the type recognizing model successfully follows the type change as strokes are sequentially written. These results show the potential for RNN models to learn high-level structural information from sequential data.

본 연구에서는 3차원 온라인 필기의 효과적인 인식 방법을 제안한다. 3차원 필기 시 pen-up/pen-down 정보의 구분이 없이 입력하도록 하여 사용자가 편리하게 필기하도록 하고 구분의 부정확함으로 인해 발생하는 오류를 줄인다. 또한, 기존의 2차원 필기 인식 모델을 개선하여 3차원 필기 데이터의 특성을 반영하게 함으로써 경제적이며 안정적인 인식이 가능하다. 실험 결과 제안된 인식 방법을 통해 pen-up/pen-down 정보의 구분이 없는 3차원 필기 숫자에 대해 $91.6\%$의 인식 성능을 얻었으며, 특히 인식 모델의 개선을 통해 여러획으로 이루어진 글자의 경우 높은 인식 성능의 향상을 보임을 확인하였다.

This paper describes the Tezpur University dataset of online handwritten Assamese characters. The online data acquisition process involves the capturing of data as the text is written on a digitizer with an electronic pen. A sensor picks up the pen-tip movements, as well as pen-up/pen-down switching. The dataset contains 8,235 isolated online handwritten Assamese characters. Preliminary results on the classification of online handwritten Assamese characters using the above dataset are presented in this paper. The use of the support vector machine classifier and the classification accuracy for three different feature vectors are explored in our research.

This paper proposes a technique for recognizing online handwritten cursive data obtained by tracing a motion trajectory while a user is in the 3D space based on a convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm. There is a difficulty in recognizing the virtual character input by the user in the 3D space because it includes both the character stroke and the movement stroke. In this paper, we divide syllable into consonant and vowel units by using labeling technique in addition to the result of localizing letter stroke and movement stroke in the previous study. The coordinate information of the separated consonants and vowels are converted into image data, and Korean handwriting recognition was performed using a convolutional neural network. After learning the neural network using 1,680 syllables written by five hand writers, the accuracy is calculated by using the new hand writers who did not participate in the writing of training data. The accuracy of phoneme-based recognition is 98.9% based on convolutional neural network. The proposed method has the advantage of drastically reducing learning data compared to syllable-based learning.
