A Human-Computer Interactive Dynamic Description Method for Jiaguwen Characters

Abstract The Jiaguwen character, which is inscribed on ox bones or tortoise shells, is one of pictographs, and it is quite different from the modern Chinese characters. The current description method of computerized Chinese character glyph can not be complete successfully applied in describing Jiaguwen character glyph. The Jiaguwen character glyph is changeable, and some of them have many variant forms. Considering these properties of Jiaguwen characters, a human computer interactive dynamic description method for Jiaguwen character is proposed. It describes Jiaguwen characters by using stroke-segments-vector and stroke elements, and it can solve the problem that the internal code space is too small to encode all Jiaguwen characters. The dynamic description of Jiaguwen character glyph provides a solution to the problem of the identification of Jiaguwen character glyph which is caused by the lack of standardization for Jiaguwen character glyph. A human-computer interactive dynamic experiment platform is developed based on the dynamic description method.
