(A) study on the recognition of korean characters

Abstract

An approach for the design of on-line/real-time Korean character recognition system is proposed. The proposed system utilizes the graphic tablet as an input device and employes the modules which are based on the relationships of various stroke types and pen moving informations. These relationships are grammatically surveyed to construct hierachically structured grammers for the fast recognition. The on-line recognition system consists of three concurrent procedures : (1) pre-processing procedure for the proper sampling of data by angular segmentation, (2) feature extraction procedure, and (3) syntactic recognition procedure. Algorithms are simplified for the on-line approach, thus real-time response for the recognition results can be achieved.
