  - foreground/background separation
  - segmentation (page, paragraph, line, word, character etc.)
  - image-feature computation
- Pen-based Signal Processing
  - sampling techniques
  - filtering techniques
  - dehooking, artefact removal
  - pen angles and pen 'pressure' signal processing
  - on-line feature computation
Character Recognition
- machine-print fonts
- handwritten characters
- handwritten gestures and shorthand
Word Recognition
- handwritten cursive word recognition
- text recognition in low-quality images
Text Processing
- use of linguistic information to improve shape classification
- geometrical and logical document structure
- forms definition languages
- information retrieval
Multimedia Processing
- character recognition in streaming video
