Abstract

This paper considers the problem for constructing characters from handwriting experiments. First, handwriting motions are measured using a pen-tablet and stored as a 3-dimensional time series data. Then, the data is used to construct characters by employing the `dynamic font´ model and the theory of smoothing splines based on the minimum jerk model. Also, we propose a method for designing cursive characters from an esthetic viewpoint. In addition, the problem for positioning optimally characters is considered. The effectiveness of the method is verified by experimental study.
