Shape Recognition-Based Approach to Chinese Character Strokes' Classification

Yingmin Tang · Computer Technology and Development · 2009

Propose an approach to classifying strokes and getting topology of Chinese characters.Shapes of strokes are constructed and characteristics of which are extracted through analysis of the TrueType font glyphs containing characters information.With compositive classified algorithmic,XML-based semantic knowledge representation for stroke types and topology of 6763 characters is implemented by integrating four kinds of statistical approaches and layout of core points.This method supplies fast searching and locating by using foreground application,and supplies prerequisite basic information for glyph transmutation,automatic typeface creation and knowledge mining of Chinese characters.The experiments show the accuracy and efficiency in recognition and topology of strokes.
