Abstract(in English) This paper presents a method to recover a dynamic trajectory from a handwritten character image using a deep neural network and consider whether the dynamic trajectory is useful for handwritten character recognition. Recognition rate of off-line handwritten characters is lower than that of on-line handwritten characters because off-line character patterns are recognized only by static information from their two-dimensional images. Therefore, the recognition rate of off-line character patterns could be improved if their trajectories were recovered from their images. Moreover, the trajectory recovery may help archaeologists decode degraded character patterns on historical documents. We recover the trajectory by an Encoder-Decoder model with the attention mechanism. In this paper, we evaluate our trajectory recovery qualitatively as well as quantitatively by combining online recognition of the recovered dynamic trajectories with offline recognition of the original character images.
