METHOD AND MICROPROCESSOR FOR PREPROCESSING HANDWRITING HAVING CHARACTERS COMPOSED OF A PREPONDERANCE OF STRAIGHT LINE SEGMENTS

摘要

The method and microprocessor of the present invention includes a step of calculating the angle changes, in the handwritten input (108). The method then selects potential segmentation points in the input whose angle change exceeds a predetermined threshold (110). The segmentation points are used to determine a sequence of straight line strokes that may be used by a recognizer for interpretation of the handwritten input (114).
