In this paper, we discuss a method for online handwritten Kanji character recognition by describing the structure of Kanji using Context-Free Grammar(CFG), and extend it in order to recognize Kanji character strings.
In this approach, we turn attention to the hierarchical structure of Kanji which consist of character-parts and strokes, and consider all character patterns to be generated from stochastic context-free grammar(SCFG). As we use both likelihoods of strokes and position relationship between character-parts in the process of parsing, it is expected that likelihoods of strokes and positions jointly improved the likelihood accuracy.
Using this method on Kanji strings enables the system to deal with both of the main problems together, namely, the decision of boundaries between letters and isolated Kanji character recognition process. Therefore the recognition error due to the failure of letter boundary decision can be compensated.
We evaluated the method using handwritten phrases consist of 2 or 3 Kanji characters contained in JAIST Online Handwriting Database, and gained the recognition rate of 90.80\% without using language models. |
