This paper focuses on handling the two-dimensional feature of on-line handwriting signals in recognition engines. This spatial information is taken into account in various ways depending on the nature of characters to be recognized. We review some techniques used in the literature and investigate new ones to represent and model the spatial information in handwriting recognition engines. We compare formally and experimentally a number of solutions on various character recognition tasks.
