Synthesis of individual handwriting in Bangla script

Document processing concerns synthesis as well as analysis and recognition of documents. This paper concerns automatic synthesis of handwritten Bangla text in an individual style of writing. Individual handwriting has macro structures like line orientation, neighboring word unevenness, interline spacing, margin orientation etc as well as micro properties like individual character shapes and inter-character transitions. Because of high complexity of Bangla writing, a combination of stored character database and stroke synthesis by spline with paint brushing is employed in our present synthesis model. The macro structure properties are also computed and used in the synthesis approach. A typical example of synthesis result is shown and other results are discussed.
