Abstract
The author describes a system that recognizes on-line Arabic cursive handwriting. In this system, a genetic algorithm is used to select the best combination of characters recognized by a fuzzy neural network. The handwritten words used in this system are modelled by a theory of movement generation. Based on this motor theory, the features extracted from each character are the neuro-physiological and biomechanical parameters of the equation describing the curvilinear velocity of the script. The evolutionary approach proposed permits the recognition of cursive handwriting with a segmentation procedure allowing overlapped strokes having neuro-physiological meaning.
