Separation method for handwritten shape and text based on improved stroke entropy
Guihuan Feng · Journal of Computer Applications · 2011
As the stroke constitutional complexity of shapes and texts is different,this paper proposed a shape and text separation method based on the calculation of the entropy of the strokes.Because the entropy of a document may vary with stroke size,adaptive resampling was introduced to handle different writing stroke sizes.In addition,the paper employed a symmetrical judgement mechanism to handle the separation of texts and shapes with equivalent stroke constitutions.The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
