Recognition of Eye-Written Characters Using Deep Neural Network

Eye writing is a human–computer interaction tool that translates eye movements into characters using automatic recognition by computers. Eye-written characters are similar in form to handwritten ones, but their shapes are often distorted because of the biosignal’s instability or user mistakes. Vario...
