Abstract

Humans are said to unintentionally trace handwriting sequences in their brains based on handwriting experiences when recognizing written text. In this paper, we propose a model for predicting handwriting sequence for written text recognition based on handwriting experiences. The model is first trained using image sequences acquired while writing text. The image features of sequences are self-organized from the images using Self-Organizing Map. The feature sequences are used to train a neuro-dynamics learning model. For recognition, the text image is input into the model for predicting the handwriting sequence and recognition of the text. We conducted two experiments using ten Japanese characters. The results of the experiments show the effectivity of the model.
