Handwritten Chinese Radical Recognition Using Nonlinear Active Shape Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Handwritten Chinese characters can be recognized by first extracting the basic shapes (radicals) of which they are composed. Radicals are described by nonlinear active shape models and optimal parameters found using the chamfer distance transform and a dynamic tunneling algorithm. The radical recognition rate is 96.5 percent correct (writer-independent) on 280,000 characters containing 98 radical classes.

Nonlinear Active Handwriting Models and Their Applications to Handwritten Chinese Radical Recognition
This paper proposes active handwriting models, in which kernel principal component analysis is applied to capture nonlinear handwriting variations. In the recognition phase, the chamfer distance transform and a dynamic tunnelling algorithm (DTA) are employed to search for the optimal shape parameters. The proposed methodology is successfully applied to a novel radical decomposition approach to ...

متن کاملHidden Markov Random Field Based Approach for Off-Line Handwritten Chinese Character Recognition
This paper presents a Hidden Markov Mesh Random Field (HMMRF) based approach for off-line handwritten Chinese characters recognition using statistical observation sequences embedded in the strokes of a character. Due to a large set of Chinese characters and many different writing styles, the recognition of handwritten Chinese characters is very challenging. In our approach, the binary image is ...
متن کاملHandwritten Chinese Character Recognition: Alternatives to Nonlinear Normalization
Nonlinear normalization (NLN) by line density equalization has been popularly used in handwritten Chinese character recognition (HCCR). To overcome the intensive computation of local line density and the excessive shape distortion of NLN, we tested some alternative methods based on global transformation, including a moment-based linear transformation and two nonlinear methods based on quadratic...
