A system for automatic adjustment and editing of handwritten text images

摘要

1. A data input and display system comprises an x-y tablet (80) and stylus (84) inputting a handwritten image in X-Y coordinate signals for display on a screen or other output device. The system includes logic (50, 52, 53, 54, 56 and 58) for collocating the coordinate signals into gross discrete groups, potentially words but without identifying the data significance of such groups, corresponding to the structural grouping of the handwritten image input and determines from the coordinate signals within such groups individually, structural data relating to each such group individually and to sets of such groups. From this data, the output image is adjusted to linear and spatial uniformity.
