Off-Line Features Integration for On-Line Handwriting Graphemes Modeling Improvement

This paper deals with the improvement of an on-line Arabic handwriting modeling system based on graphemes segmentation. The presented strategy consists in the integration of off-line features to assimilate and take up the handwriting style variation in a multi-writer context. The main contribution of the presented work consists in making off-line fuzzy template for each on-line segmented graphemes trajectory and the extraction of geometric moments invariants by using a method adapted to the irregular spatial sampling of their on-line trajectory. The experimental results prove the added value of the introduced features on the discriminative power of the developed handwriting modeling system.
