A fast and effective method for printed Chinese character recognition
Zhang Guo-lib · Journal of North China Electric Power University · 2008
Strokes represent internal character of Chinese character,which can express the Chinese character topology features.The previous method of traversing times of strokes is full-breakthrough to stroke,but this method is not effective for some Chinese Characters,increase workload for second recognition.This paper introduces half-breakthrough of strokes,and constructs a new feature by using the times of half-breakthrough of strokes.It is used to implement the first recognition that the combination of full-breakthrough and half-breakthrough.The energy-density is used to do the second recognition for the Chinese Characters which can not be recognized in the first recognition.The experiment results show this method is effective.The new method enhances recognition capability in first recognition and decreases workload of the second recognition.
