HMM based online hand-drawn graphic symbol recognition

摘要

In this paper, a online hand-drawn graphic symbol recognition algorithm based on hidden Markov model is presented. A rearrangement strategy is applied to the hand-drawn symbol points in order to alleviate the influence of the difference in drawing sequence. Based on rearranged drawing points, global distance measure and local angle feature are extracted as the feature vector. After the quantization, a discrete HMM is used as the core recognizer. The experiment shows the recognition rate of our system can be above 85%.
