  • Abstract
    Handwriting may be captured using a video camera, rather than the customary pressure-sensitive tablet. This paper presents a simple system based on correlation and recursive prediction methods that can track the tip of the pen in real time with sufficient spatio-temporal resolution and accuracy to enable handwritten character recognition. The system is tested on a large and heterogeneous set of examples and its performance is compared to that of three human operators and a commercial high-resolution pressure-sensitive tablet
