Abstract :
The paper describes an application of a novel (position, rotation, and size) invariant mapping, one that is intended for use in online handwritten character recognition. The mapping is as simple as any similar mapping we know of. This makes it computationally efficient and fast, which in turn makes it appropriate for online implementations. A recognition system utilising this mapping has been developed for handwritten Arabic characters. Character recognition is carried out via a decision tree-like classification system based mainly (but not solely) on simple features of the mapped pattern
