An Identification of Japanese Numerical Characters on a Biometrical Smart Pen System

Biometrical smart pen (BiSP) prototypes were still used for handwriting signature verification and identification as well as for biometrical PIN identification based on Arabian number. In this paper, we apply a biometrical smart pen prototype to biometrical identification of PINs given by four handwritten Japanese numeric characters extracted from ten characters. As a result, it is estimated that the identification rate is 88% with one numeric character. And, it is found that the error occurs when the numbers, which have similar stroke time and similar direction in writing, are not distinguished clearly.
