Abstract
The recognition of Korean characters by a syntactic method is
considered. Korean characters are composed of phonetic symbols in two
dimensions and contain very little redundancy. In addition, the phonetic
symbols in each character are different in shape and number depending on
how they are composed. Thus, attribute information is important. A
Korean character recognition algorithm based on an attribute-dependent
programmed grammar is presented. The preprocessing and primitive
extraction algorithm is also described. The algorithm was implemented
and tested with more than 9600 Korean characters in pages randomly
selected from children's story books. The algorithm based on the
attribute-dependent programmed grammar recognized characters reasonably
quickly, with more than 95.1% accuracy
