Abstract
In this paper, we propose a recursive hierarchical scheme for radical extraction of Chinese characters. The proposed scheme, which combines structural method and statistical method, includes three modules. They are character pattern detection module, straight cut line detection m odule, and stroke clustering module. Experiments are conducted on 1824 constrained handwritten characters. The successful rate of radical ex traction is 96%. The experimental results reveal the feasibility and v alidity of our proposed approach. (C) 1997 Pattern Recognition Society .
