Abstract(in English) In handwritten character recognition, the central problem is how to overcome a wide variety of deformation in handwritten characters. Matching using deformable models is one of the solution for absorbing various deformation. This paper presents a method of handwritten numeral recognition using flexible matching based on contour directions. A standard pattern is deformed so that it becomes closer and closer to the input character, with referring to the similarity between the directions of each part of the pattern and of the contour of the input. In order to prevent over-matching with characters in different classes, results of learning of character structures including the ranges of deformation are reflected in the matching.
