Abstract
This paper describes an on-line recognition system for free-format handwritten Japanese character strings which may contain characters with separated constituents or overlapping characters. The recognition method for the system, called candidate lattice method, conducts segmentation and recognition of individual character candidates, and applies linguistic information to determine the most probable character string in order to achieve high recognition rates. Special hardware designed to realize a real-time recognition system is also introduced. The method used on the special hardware attained a segmentation rate of 98.8% and an overall recognition rate of 98.7% for 105 samples.
