Graphonomics 1517385 179019749 2007-12-19T19:48:34Z 12.49.131.66 '''Graphonomics''' is the interdisciplinary field directed towards the scientific analysis of the [[handwriting]] process and the handwritten product. Researchers from [[handwriting recognition]], [[forensic handwriting examination]], [[kinesiology]], [[psychology]], [[computer science]], [[artificial intelligence]], [[paleography]] and [[neuroscience]] cooperate in order to achieve a better understanding of the human [[skill]] of handwriting. Graphonomics science should not be confused with the practice of [[graphology]]. Topics in graphonomics include: *'''Handwriting regeneration''' - the simulated production of a given recording of handwriting movement. This is realized, not using the actually recorded kinematic or kinetic signals, but an abstracted model of [[human movement control]]. *'''Handwriting generation''' - the process of producing handwriting (e.g., pen-tip) movements. Usually the concept implies the use of a computer simulation model which is able to generate handwriting movement and/or shape, producing newly generated text in a manner which is similar to the handwriting of a particular person. *'''Fluency''' - Measures for the fluency of handwriting are the integral of the absolute of the [[acceleration]] signal or, alternatively, the absolute of the integral of the [[jerk]] time function. ==See also== *[[Terminology in graphonomics]] ==External links== *[http://www.graphonomics.org/ International Graphonomics Society (IGS)] [[Category:Penmanship]] [[Category:Graphology]] {{sci-stub}}
