In this paper, we present online handwriting recognition system for Ethiopic script based on the structural and syntactical analysis of the strokes forming characters. The complex structures of characters are represented by the spatio- temporal relationships of simple-shaped strokes called primitives. A special tree structure is used to model spatio- temporal relationships of the strokes. The tree generates a unique set of primitive stroke sequences for each character, and for recognition each stroke sequence is matched against a stored knowledge base. Characters are also classified based on their structural similarity to select a plausible set of characters for un unknown input, which improves recognition and processing time. We also present a dataset collected for training and testing online recognition systems for Ethiopic script. The dataset is prepared in accordance with the international standard UNIPEN format. The recognition system is tested with the collected dataset and experimental results are reported.</p> Eleventh International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition (ICFHR2008), August 19-21, Montreal, Quebec, Canada http://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?searchId=1&pid=diva2:408386 158 Proceedings : Eleventh International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition, Montréal, Québec - Canada, August 19-21, 2008 Conference Paper 153 Online Handwriting Recognition of Ethiopic Script 2008 2016-09-30T20:41:22Z 2457662.3620602 Online Handwriting Recognition of Ethiopic Script 500 0 plainlist list 1 [[:Publications:Online Handwriting Recognition of Ethiopic Script]] Online Handwriting Recognition of Ethiopic Script# QUERY93985b8448de4dd1908fcc83e86be559 500 [2,"smw-datavalue-property-restricted-annotation-use","Publisher"] Online Handwriting Recognition of Ethiopic Script# ERR6c155b5d70b69ddb590b4f2e73389c2a 500 [2,"smw-datavalue-property-restricted-annotation-use","Author"] Online Handwriting Recognition of Ethiopic Script# ERRe24f17e090c98448f3de99d03182b7b6
