Irregularity as a Quantitative Assessment of Font Drawing and Its Effect on the Reading Speed
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is proposed to use irregularity, the scale invariant index based on the ideas of fractal geometry to assess the spatial features of font drawings. The index is sensitive to the shape of characters in the font, which affects text legibility. Preliminary results have shown promising application of the proposed index for classifying fonts by reading speeds.

متن کاملAcceleration-Based Quality Assessment of Railway Tracks using a 2D simulation model and recorded track data
Car body acceleration is an important factor affecting track safety and ride comfort, which are two primary aspects of railway systems. Though track level is an important source of wagon body acceleration, no quantitative relation between them is available and the aim of this paper is to propose a method to address this issue. To do so, car body acceleration is determined using a 10 DOF simulat...
متن کاملDiagnosis of OCD Patients Using Drawing Features of Bender Gestalt Shapes
Background: Since psychological tests such as questionnaire or drawing tests are almost qualitative, their results carry a degree of uncertainty and sometimes subjectivity. The deficiency of all drawing tests is that the assessment is carried out after drawing the objects and lots of information such as pen angle, speed, curvature and pressure are missed through the test. In other words, the ps...
