Abstract
Ink-processing technology is set forth herein for detecting a gesture that a user performs in the course of interacting with an ink document. The technology operates by identifying a grouping of ink strokes created by the user. The technology then determines whether the grouping expresses a gesture based on a combination of spatial information and image information, both of which describe the grouping. That is, the spatial information describes a sequence of positions traversed by the user in drawing the grouping of ink strokes using an ink capture device, while the image information refers to image content in an image produced by rendering the grouping into image form. The technology also provides a technique for identifying the grouping by successively expanding a region of analysis, to ultimately provide a spatial cluster of ink strokes for analysis.
