Abstract:The stroke analysis method is an effective approach for handwritten Chinese character recognition. But as we know, it is very difficult to accurately extract the strokes. In this paper, a robust stroke extraction method is proposed. First, smoothing and thinning processes are applied to smooth the shape and to obtain the skeleton of the observed character. Then the end point, internal point and fork point are detected by calculating their own crossing numbers while the corner points are determined by a knowled… Show more
