Description
The prime purpose of this book is to educate readers for the development of a Digital Handwriting Interface (DHI) where the user can write with a digital pen. This book includes code in VC++.NET language. The developed DHI has been found very useful in many applications as sketch drawing, handwriting recognition research after inclusion of recognizer files and collection of digital handwriting. The reader will find this book useful as it includes the entire source code in chapter forms.

Chapter 3 PREPROCESSING DEVELOPMENT:
Preprocessing phase in online handwriting recognition is applied to remove noise present in input text due to hardware and software limitations vis-a-vis smooth handwriting. This noise exists in the input text in the form of sharp edges, non-centered text, uneven sizes of text and missing points in text trajectories due to high speed of handwriting and slants in characters. Preprocessing steps improve the overall recognition rate. It is one of the essential phases of online handwriting recognition and most of the researchers have discussed ist challenges for various scripts from time to time.
We have performed five essential preprocessing steps in online handwritten Gurmukhi character recognition. These preprocessing steps are discussed in Subsections 3.1 to 3.5. Fig. 3.1 represents input handwritten stroke before preprocessing [.].
As discussed in chapter 1, collected data is storage of pen movements in online handwriting recognition. These movements appear at various positions on viewport and joining these positions in first-cum-first-serve basis shows the appearance of drawn text. A character may consist of single or multiple strokes. The list formed in data collection includes nodes, where each node includes two fields, namely, point and stroke number. Here, the point represents x and y coordinates of view port and stroke number represents identity and sequential order of stroke. Also, stroke number helps in identifying similar points, gaps and crossings. If stroke 1 and stroke 2 include m_1 and m_2 points respectively, then the size 'n' of the list will be m_1+m_2.
The pen movement consists of three functions, namely, PenDown, PenMove and PenUp. When one presses, moves, lifts the pen up consecutively, and more than one point collected, the stroke number is incremented. PenMove function stores movements of pen on writing pad. The points of the list are denoted by P_i (x,y),i=1,2,.,n; where n is total number of points in the list. For sake of brevity, we have u
