Handwritten pattern recognizer with selective feature weighting

摘要

A handwritten pattern recognition system for recognizing an input pattern is provided. The system has a plurality of parameter determining units, each determining the value of a desired parameter for an input pattern to be recognized. The system also includes a pattern match determiner which produces match values for each parameter of the input pattern with its corresponding parameter of each reference parameter. The match determiner also produces an overall match value for each reference pattern. A pattern classifier selects the reference pattern whose parameter set is "closest", by some matching criterion, to that of the input pattern.
