Abstract
In the first part, Sebastiano Impedovo introduces the field of handwriting recognition as a whole, outlining all the component areas where research has been undertaken over the last 20–30 years. These include data acquisition and preprocessing of both on-line and off-line handwriting, character and numeral recognition, cursive word recognition, and signature verification. All these areas are then examined in more depth in subsequent parts of the book.
