Summary:A method and system for identifying boundaries of characters in handwritten text by classifying segment strokes provides improved performance in a handwriting recognition system. A segment stroke is a portion of handwritten text which includes a boundary between two characters. The segment stroke is recognized by the same method used to recognize characters. Recognition of a segment stroke is accomplished by training a learning machine to act as a classifier (208) which implements a discriminant function based on a polynomial expansion. L'invention concerne un procédé et un système pour identifier les démarcations des caractères dans un texte écrit à la main en classifiant les traits de segment. La reconnaissance de l'écriture manuelle est améliorée avec ce système. Un trait de segment est une portion d'écriture qui englobe une démarcation entre deux caractères. Le trait de segment est reconnu par le même procédé que celui utilisé pour la reconnaissance des caractères. La reconnaissance d'un trait de segment se fait en apprenant à une machine intelligente à se comporter comme un classificateur (208) qui met en oeuvre une fonction discriminante basée sur une expansion polynomiale.
