COMPUTER ON-LINE HANDWRITTEN CHINESE CHARACTER RECOGNITION
Ye P · Acta Automatica Sinica · 1987
In this paper, a few new techniques and algorithms for computer on-line handwritten Chinese character recognition are presented. More freedom in writing can be provided by the following points: (1) segmentation is based firstly on successive sampling and secondly on a method which eliminates, based on a local comparison, the undesired relative short segments of a strok; (2) by means of correction algorithm, strokes which should not be separated can be linked together, and strokes which should not be linked can be split into several basic strokes; (3) the distorted characters can be recognized by a non-exact matching process; (4) with reference to the stroke sequence order of a template character stored in the dictionary, the stroke sequence order of an input character can be rearranged; (5) use stroke position and stroke length as additional features to distinguish ambiguous characters.
