A Structure-based Outline Font Compression Scheme and Its Presentation
Song Xiao · Zhongwen xinxi xuebao · 2002
Because the ability to display and output high quality characters for Chinese,Japanese,and Korean(CJK)languages is still limited now,we propose a structure based compression scheme.The approach uses Extractionto transform CJK outline fonts from Contour Set to Stroke Set.And the strokes are clustered to find appropriate templates.Then the similar strokes are saved as templates and rebuilding information.We also present a stroke extraction algorithm based on stroke segment topologically.The results reveal that the scheme achieves a high compression ratio without reducing the output quality of the fonts, and the stroke extraction algorithm is not only efficient but also propitious to multi fonts.
