This paper presents a robust thinning-based method for the segmentation of strokes from handwritten Chinese characters. A new set of feature points is proposed for the analysis of skeleton images. A geometrical graph based approach is developed for the analysis of strokes. A novel criterion is proposed for the identification of the fork points in a skeleton image which correspond to the same joint points in the original character image. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective.
Index Terms:
Thinning, skeleton, segmentation, stroke extraction, character recognition, handwritten Chinese character.
