abstract = ""An on-line handwritten character recognition
technique based on a template matching distance is
proposed. In this method, the pen-direction features are
quantized using the 8-level Freeman chain coding scheme
and the dominant points of the stroke are identified using
the first difference of the chain code. The distance between
two symbols results from the difference of the respective
chain codes of the variable speed normalization of
dominant points weighted by the local length proportions
of the strokes. The proposed technique was tested on two
datasets and showed a recognition rate of 92 % in the top
1 choice."",
