Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper presents an off-line pattern matching method based on a relaxation process. The method employs rubber string models as standard character patterns (called an "Elastic Stroke Model") to absorb deformation of handwritten character patterns. A pattern similarity is designed with fuzzy logical equations, and matching process is realized by the steepest descent method. Some matching experiments were performed on the 10 sets of 46 Japanese Hiragana categories in the ETL8b2c database.
