Abstract:
A method for generating a graphical image of strokes made by a writing instrument, the method comprising:obtaining data indications of strokes, via a plurality of sensors, made with the writing instrument;performing a transform on data from the sensors to generate transformed data;adjusting the transformed data by:determining a probability that a character made with the writing instrument corresponds each of a first plurality of character templates in a probability table;selecting a second plurality of character templates, wherein the second plurality of character templates is a subset of the first plurality of character templates;selecting one character template of the second plurality of templates with a highest probability of corresponding to the character made with the writing instrument;adjusting the transformed data based on a difference between the character made with the writing instrument and the selected template; and mapping the adjusted transformed data to a graphical image of the strokes.
