  • Abstract
    The article presents a handwritten digit string recognition algorithm based on matching input subgraphs with prototype symbol graphs. The article defines a set of acceptable graph transformations corresponding to typical variations of the handwritten symbols. The search for a match between the input subgraph and prototype graph is conducted using this set of transformations. This approach allows us to solve the problems of structure recognition methods caused by a high variability of handwritten symbol topology. The article presents experimental results of the handwritten digit string recognition system
