Popis: This paper describes an online isolated character recognition system using advanced techniques of pattern smoothing and direction feature extraction. The composition of direction elements and their smoothing are directly performed on the online trajectory, and therefore are computationally efficient. We compare recognition performance when direction features are formulated using smoothed and unsmoothed direction vectors. In experiments, direction features from the original pattern yielded inferior performance, while primitive sub-character direction features, using smoothed direction encoded vectors, made a large difference. The average recognition rates obtained were about 75% using original direction vectors, and about 86% using the smoothed direction vectors.
