Nonlinear Active Handwriting Models and Their Applications to Handwritten Chinese Radical Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the challenging problem of handwritten Chinese character recognition.

متن کاملHandwritten Chinese Radical Recognition Using Nonlinear Active Shape Models
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 radic...
