On-Line Recognition Of Cursive Korean Characters By Descriptions Of Basic Character Patterns And Their Connected Patterns

The present paper reports an on-line recognition method of cursive Korean characters. In the present method, we treat a Korean character pattern as a finite sequence of basic character patterns. After extracting candidate basic character patterns from an input character pattern, we determine basic character patterns making a Korean character from the candidates by connecting processing. We described basic character patterns and their connected patterns used in the present method according to their features. By extracting and connecting basic character patterns based on the descriptions, we improve description ability of patterns and processing speed. Precise description ability of patterns and extracting candidates can remove unstable writing movements and can separate strokes stably.
