SUMMARY:Estimating the Pen Trajectories of Handwritten Static Scripts usin

DESCRIPTION:Static handwritten scripts originate as images on documents an
 d do not\, by definition\, contain any dynamic information. In this talk\,
  it will be shown how one can estimate dynamic information from handwritte
 n static images by constructing hierarchical hidden Markov models from the
  images\, and matching dynamic training data to the constructed models. Th
 e efficacy of our approach is demonstrated with quantitative results and s
 ome practical examples. \n
