We present a novel Chinese synthesis method based on affine transform. A set of basic Chinese character element (BCCE) are designed, which can be used to generate any Chinese character in standard GB2312-80 level 1. Structure similarity measurement is used to evaluate the synthesis quality. Experiments showed that the synthesized characters look smooth and natural. Storage of synthesized characters can be greatly reduced. The proposed Chinese character synthesis method has many potential applications, such as building small-size Chinese font, building compact classifier for Chinese OCR, and etc.
