| Abstract(in English) | This paper describes an on-line handwritten character recognition method based on Hidden Markov Models. The method applies HMMs to the sequence of quantized feature vectors extracted from an input pattern. The well-known Baum-Welch algorithm has been adopted for training the models. Our large database of handwritten character patterns employed for training makes the system robust against different stroke orders and peculiar patterns. Combining HMM probabilities obtained from two or three different feature sequences reduces the recognition errors for similar patterns. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through experiments on 76,340 character patterns of the 46 Hiragana categories. |
