In-Depth Information
hat-feature
: this binary feature indicates whether a delayed stroke has been re-
moved at the same horizontal position as the considered point.
•
•
speed
: the velocity is computed before resampling and then interpolated.
•
x-coordinate
: the
x
-position is taken after high-pass filtering, i.e., after subtract-
ing a moving average from the real horizontal position.
•
y-coordinate
: this feature represents the vertical position of the point after nor-
malization.
•
writing direction
: here we have a pair of features, given by the cosine and sine
of the angle between the line segment starting at the point and the
x
-axis.
•
curvature
: similarly to the writing direction, this is a pair of features, given by
the cosine and sine of the angle between the lines to the previous and the next
point.
•
vicinity aspect
: this feature is equal to the aspect of the trajectory (See Fig. 2)
•
vicinity slope
: this pair of features is given by the cosine and sine of the angle
of the straight line from the first to the last vicinity point (see Fig. 2).
•
vicinity curliness
: this feature is defined as the length of the trajectory in the vi-
cinity divided by max(
x
(
t
);
y
(
t
)) (see Fig. 2).
vicinity linearity
: here we use the average squared distance
d²
of each point in
the vicinity to the straight line from the first to the last vicinity point (see Fig. 2).

Pseudo offline features
The features of the second class are all computed using a two-dimensional matrix
B representing the offline version of the data. For each position the number of
points on the trajectory of the strokes is stored. This can be seen as a low-
resolution image of the handwritten data. The following features are used:
•
ascenders/descenders
: these two features count the number of points above the
corpus line (ascenders) and below the baseline (descenders). Only points which
