Segmentation of connected handwritten Chinese characters based on structure cluster and strokes analysis
Zhang Wang-bo · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2008
The segmentation of off-line handwritten Chinese characters adhesion is one of the issues to be resolved.Therefore,a new segmentation algorithm is proposed in this paper for the adhesion of handwritten Chinese characters.The algorithm first look-ing for the dividing line to extract adhesion stroke.And then extracting the adhesion stroke to analyze and determine its type(straight line or curve),determine adhesion points and cut direction.Finally,using background thinning algorithm to find out the segmentation curve.This algorithm is not only applicable to the conditions of two Chinese characters width varies with adhesive,contains many adhesion points but also has a good anti-noise effect.
