Researchers have developed a method to detect pen-up states in handwriting using only video analysis, offering a complementary approach to traditional digitizing tablets. This proof-of-concept study combines pen-tip tracking with machine learning to infer pen-contact states, even for high-lift in-air movements that tablets might miss. The system achieved an F_2 score of up to 0.805, demonstrating its potential for low-cost, non-intrusive handwriting analysis, particularly for screening purposes like identifying dysgraphia. AI
IMPACT Enables new low-cost methods for analyzing handwriting dynamics, potentially aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like dysgraphia.
