A Deep Learning Approach to Writer Identification Using Inertial Sensor Data of Air-Handwriting

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, there are a few researches on air-handwriting character-level writer identification only employing acceleration and angular velocity data. In this paper, we propose a deep learning approach to writer identification only using inertial sensor data of air-handwriting. In particular, we separate different representations of degree of freedom (DoF) of air-handwriting to extract local dependency and interrelationship in different CNNs separately. Experiments on a public dataset achieve an average good performance without any extra hand-designed feature extractions.
