ABSTRACT:
Handwriting recognition which is invariant with respect to translation, rotation and scale is achieved with a new feature signal, ratio of tangents, and a new application of the normalized curvature feature. Use of these features is optimized by augmenting the ratio of tangents with the sign of local curvature and weighing each feature signal with its relative discriminative power.
