Semi-Automatic Segmentation Of On-Line Handwriting

Abstract

This paper deals with the automation of digital trace data segmentation. The data are obtained from a digitizing tablet and are then subjected to handwriting analysis, providing quantified information about a person’s handwriting, which might help in the diagnosis of handwriting difficulties. In order to successfully analyze the data, they must be segmented by individual handwriting exercise. Implementation of a python-based program with a GUI is described along with its basic functionality.
