A rotation invariant printed Chinese character recognition system
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an approach to construct an optical character recognition (OCR) system for recognizing rotated printed Chinese characters. Our system includes preprocessing, feature extraction, candidates selection, and target character recognition. The proposed system has a three-stage structure designed mainly to reduce the time complexity in the recognition process. Our goal is to recognize the complete set of frequently used 13 053 printed Chinese characters with arbitrary orientations. The overall recognition rate of our system reaches 97.4%.

Recognition of Chinese Characters by MomentFeature
To extract a set of suitable features from all Chinese characters for the purpose of classiication is essential in the design of an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system for printed Chinese characters. Moment descriptors have been developed as features in pattern recognition since the moment method was rst introduced. The moment method is diierent from other feature extraction methods used...

An approach to multi-font printed Chinese character recognition is proposed in this paper. The problems of inputting image of characters, preprocessing, character segmentati~n~feature extraction as well as character classification have been discussed. According to the characteristics of multi-font printed Chinese characters,the number of cutting across strokes, the external and internal areas w...

متن کاملHand-printed Chinese Character Recognition
Recognition of Chinese characters has been an area of major for many years, and a large number of research papers and reports have already been published in this area. There are several major problems with Chinese character recognition: Chinese characters are distinct and ideographic, the character size is very large and a lot of structurally similar characters exist in the character set. Thus,...
