• Abstract: Digital pens are commonly used to write on digital devices, providing the handwriting trace and enhancing human-computer interation. This study focuses on a digital pen equipped with kinematic sensors, allowing users to write on any surface while simultaneously preserving a digital trajectory of handwriting. This technology holds significant potential as a valuable educational tool, particularly in classrooms where it can facilitate the process of learning to write. A major issue is based on the difference in captured signals between adults and children. For similar handwriting trace, we have large differences in sensor signals due to differences in speed and confidence in the handwriting gesture of children. To address this, we investigate a domain adaptation approach to build a unified intermediate feature representation aimed at facilitating the trajectory reconstruction. We demonstrate the interest of domain adaptation methods in leveraging existing knowledge for application in different contexts. Specifically, we compare our domain adaptation approach with two other methods: training the model from scratch and fine-tuning the model.

  We focus on a novel problem, letter-level online writer-id, which requires only a few trajectories of written letters as identification cues. A main challenge is that a person often writes a letter in different styles from time to time. We refer to this problem as the variance of online writing styles (Var-O-Styles)

  This paper presents a writer-independent system that recognizes characters written on plain paper with the use of a sensor-equipped pen. The pen provides linear acceleration, angular velocity, magnetic field, and force applied by the user, and acts as a digitizer that transforms the analogue signals of the sensors into time data while writing on regular paper. We present the results of a convolutional neural network model for letter classification and show that this approach is practical and achieves promising results for writer-independent character recognition.
