Dh. Lee et Hg. Cho, A NEW SYNTHESIZING METHOD FOR HANDWRITING KOREAN SCRIPTS, International journal of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence, 12(1), 1998, pp. 45-61
So far there have been models for generating handwriting scripts of we
stern languages. Since the basic structure of oriental languages such
as Chinese, Japanese and Korean, is quite different from that of alpha
bet-based western languages, western handwriting models cannot be appl
ied directly to oriental languages except for a few models. In this pa
per, we propose a new generation model for generating Korean handwriti
ng scripts. For this we choose 11 characteristic parameters which dete
rmine the shape of handwriting scripts. These parameters were selected
experimentally by investigating ample Korean scripts. Furthermore we
propose the Beta-velocity model to simulate the cursive stroke movemen
t by manipulating curvilinear and cursive connection for consecutive s
trokes within a letter or a word. In order to generate these oriental
cursive strokes, we adopted Beta distribution curve basis which enable
s one to make easy asymmetric velocity profile. By combining all these
features, we synthesize various handwriting Korean scripts by control
ling 11 characteristic parameters. In the final section of this paper,
we give experimental results. These easy-to-synthesize Korean scripts
can be used in evaluating off-line character recognition system and a
word processor by supporting handwriting-style fonts.
