Abstract :
Defines an operational handwriting model for online syntactic recognition of cursive script. To represent handwriting, it uses characteristic points linked together by segments of uniform curvature. The model acts as a guide for the extraction of attributed primitives used in shape grammars that model allographs and their adjacency rules. The handwriting model is evaluated by human readers in a comparative analysis of original cursive letter sequences versus their reconstructed traces. Also, its performance is measured in terms of mean reconstruction error and data compression rate
