Chinese Calligraphy Font Classification and Transformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This project explores Chinese character font classification and transformation, which are the most important two steps in reconstructing weathered Chinese characters. For font classification, SIFT is first used to capture font features, and neural network is built in Keras with almost perfect results achieved. For font transformation, a convolutional neural network is implemented in Tensorflow, for which different models are compared and discussed. Expected results are generated from transformation, and effectiveness of neural network in font classification and transformation is verified.

Robotic writing is a very challenging task and involves complicated kinematic control algorithms and image processing work. This paper, alternatively, proposes a robot calligraphy system that firstly applies human arm gestures to establish a font database of Chinese character elementary strokes and English letters, then uses the created database and human gestures to write Chinese characters an...
متن کاملGenerating Handwritten Chinese Characters using CycleGAN
Handwriting of Chinese has long been an important skill in East Asia. However, automatic generation of handwritten Chinese characters poses a great challenge due to the large number of characters. Various machine learning techniques have been used to recognize Chinese characters, but few works have studied the handwritten Chinese character generation problem, especially with unpaired training d...
متن کاملRealistic synthesis of cao shu of Chinese calligraphy
In Chinese calligraphy cao shu is regarded as a kind of free form art which differs from other styles greatly in its less constrained strokes and brush textures. In this paper we present a framework for synthesizing cao shu realistically. In our system, we adopt different brush texture patches (BTPs) collected from hand-written artworks to represent the solid and hollow strokes appearing in cao...
متن کاملHow a Font Can Respect Basic Rules of Arabic Calligraphy
This paper describes formal bases for designing a PostScript dynamic font respecting some basic rules of Arabic calligraphy. This font will provide, for instance, a vertical curvilinear characters dynamic stretching that depends on their horizontal stretching according to the Calligraphic rules. Vertical and horizontal ligatures will also be supported by the proposed font. The techniques used c...
متن کاملClassifying fonts and calligraphy styles using complex wavelet transform
Recognizing fonts has become an important task in document analysis, due to the increasing number of available digital documents in different fonts and emphases. A generic font-recognition system independent of language, script and content is desirable for processing various types of documents. At the same time, categorizing calligraphy styles in handwritten manuscripts is important for palaeog...
