Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We quantitatively investigated with what inclinations the strokes of Japanese characters tend to be actually handwritten. We found especially that the horizontal strokes in machine-printed characters tend to be handwritten with an inclination of about 9°right up. We extracted four normal distributions out of the histogram of orientations. We adopted the peak positions as new base orientations in place of (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°), and applied the empirical rule of the decompositions of feature to new base orientations, and then we could enhance the recognition accuracy of the system.
