Users need not turn the input device to themselves before starting input.Based on the basic characteristics of input strokes,segments of Chinese characters, horizontal strokes from left to right and vertical strokes from top to bottom,this research can detect the rotation angle if such invariant relations are found.First of all is to compute the direction and length of each stroke segment of the input writing.Secondly, two different methods and their combination, structure analysis with heuristic rules and K-mean clustering, are used to detect the rotation angle. Two associated sets of experiments are performed.One is verifing skew/rotation limitation of the handwriting recognition engine to make sure the research is working. And the other is appling Principal Component Analysis on input writing to detect the rotation angle as contrast.Finally, comparing these two results and pick the better one to construct a Handwriting Chinese Characters Rotation Detection System.
