Cursive Style Korean Handwriting Synthesis Based on Shape Analysis with Minimized Input Data
Suyun Ju, Jungpil Shin · 2013
In this paper we present novel algorithm for the cursive style Korean handwriting synthesis method based on the shape analysis with minimized input data. Hangul (Korean Character) has the different characteristics in structure, that is, character consists of consonants and vowels like English and also it is a combination character like Chinese character. This research aims at using minimal input character data, that is namely consonant and vowel, to synthesize all possible combination of Hangul character. First, we propose the method how to get an inter-strokes information for making position of the natural Korean character. Second, we propose how to synthesize all the Korean characters using small amount of input data and normalized one from some of representative input data. Finally we add a function that concatenates each consonants and vowels for cursive style. By the experiment, we show that the proposed method is effective for synthesis of Hangul by human evaluation.
