Abstract
Consecutive strokes of Chinese characters tend to be connected in
fast writing, and this causes a problem for most stroke-based
recognition approaches. A recognition scheme for recognizing cursive
Chinese characters under the constraint of correct stroke writing orders
is proposed. The recognition scheme consists of two phases: candidate
character selection and detailed matching. In the former phase, an input
script with N strokes is used to split the strokes of each
reference character into N corresponding parts. In the latter
phase, the connected input strokes are broken into multiple strokes
under the guidance of candidate characters. In both phases, dynamic
programming is employed for stroke or character matching. Good
experimental results prove the feasibility of the proposed approach for
cursive Chinese character recognition
