This paper proposes active handwriting models, in which kernel principal component analysis is applied to capture nonlinear handwriting variations. In the recognition phase, the chamfer distance transform and a dynamic tunnelling algorithm (DTA) are employed to search for the optimal shape parameters. The proposed methodology is successfully applied to a novel radical decomposition approach to the challenging problem of handwritten Chinese character recognition.
