Reshaping and Reconstructing Handwritten Character Typeface Using Dynamic Font Model
Hiroyuki Fujioka, Shinya Miyata · 2011
This paper considers the problem of reshaping and reconstructing a typeface of handwritten characters. From a set of handwriting motion data, characters are constructed by a modeling scheme with the dynamic font model and the theory of smoothing splines. Using the Dynamic Programming (DP) matching and the affine transformation, we next reshape the typeface of modeled characters based on some model writings. In addition, using the modeling scheme, the typeface of such characters are transformed to the omitted running style as seen in Japanese calligraphy. The effectiveness is examined by some experiments.
