Modeling of Ancient-style Chinese Character and Its Application to CCC Robot

This paper describes the modeling of Chinese character written in ancient style and its application in Chinese character calligraphy robot (CCC robot). First, the image of a Chinese character written in ancient style is thinned. Chinese character skeleton is detected from the thinned image. Then the skeleton is modeled by B-splines. Finally, the model of the Chinese character is used to control a CCC robot to perform the ancient style Chinese character calligraphy. The experiment results show that the ancient style Chinese character is modeled precisely and the model is useful for CCC robot to perform ancient style Chinese character calligraphy
