Abstract
A structural method of recognizing handprinted digits is described, in which the strokes comprising the digits are decomposed into line segments. The lines are matched against stroke templates, beginning at a “pen down” point and traced as far as possible. Both direction and length are important to the template matching. Error rates of 3.3% are reported
