In this paper an extension for multi-stroke character recognition of FUzzy BAsed handwritten character Recognition (FUBAR) algorithm will be presented. First the basic concept of a single-stroke version will be overviewed; in the second part of the paper the new version of the algorithm with multi-stroke symbol support will be introduced, which deploy the same algorithm overviewed in the first part and use flat and hierarchical rule bases. © 2013 Polish Information Processing Society.
