Recovery of drawing order from multi-stroke English handwritten images based on graph models and ambiguous zone analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• Recovering the drawing orders in static multi-stroke handwritten images.

• Simultaneously separating strokes and finding the smoothest path for each stroke.

• Using graph models with a new cost function.

• Detecting touches and crossings of stroke parts to determine the continuity.

• Using un-smoothness and double-traced segments to break the stroke.
