This survey describes the state of the art of online handwriting recognition during a period of
renewed activity in the field. It is based on an extensive review of the literature, including …

Character recognition (CR) has been extensively studied in the last half century and has
progressed to a level that is sufficient to produce technology-driven applications. Now …

Measuring the similarity between 3D shapes is a fundamental problem, with applications in
computer graphics, computer vision, molecular biology, and a variety of other fields. A …

Although mobile, tablet, large display, and tabletop computers increasingly present
opportunities for using pen, finger, and wand gestures in user interfaces, implementing …

Character segmentation has long been a critical area of the OCR process. The higher
recognition rates for isolated characters vs. those obtained for words and connected …

As the number of 3D models available on the Web grows, there is an increasing need for a
search engine to help people find them. Unfortunately, traditional text-based search …

In this paper we describe a novel classification approach for online handwriting recognition.
The technique combines dynamic time warping (DTW) and support vector machines (SVMs) …

Cursive script word recognition is the problem of transforming a word from the iconic form of
cursive writing to its symbolic form. Several component processes of a recognition system for …

Zhai and Kristensson (2003) presented a method of speed-writing for pen-based computing
which utilizes gesturing on a stylus keyboard for familiar words and tapping for others. In …

We present a novel approach to finding a correspondence (alignment) between two curves.
The correspondence is based on a notion of an alignment curve which treats both curves …
