Structural recognition of ancient Chinese ideographic characters

Ancient Chinese characters, typically the ideographic characters on bones and bronze before Shang Dynasty(16th—11th century B.C.), are valuable culture legacy of history. However the recognition of Ancient Chinese characters has been the task of paleography experts for long. With the help of modern computer technique, everyone can expect to be able to recognize the characters and understand the ancient inscriptions. This research is aimed to help people recognize and understand those ancient Chinese characters by combining Chinese paleography theory and computer information processing technology. Based on the analysis of ancient character features, a method for structural character recognition is proposed. The important characteristics of strokes and basic components or radicals used in recognition are introduced in detail. A system was implemented based on above method to show the effectiveness of the method.

An on-line free handwritten Chinese character recognition method based on component cascaded HMMs

This paper presents a cascaded Hidden Markov Model （HMM）, which allows state＇s transition, skip and duration. The cascaded HMM extends the way of HMM pattern description of Handwritten Chinese Character （HCC） and depicts the behavior of handwritten curve more reliably in terms of the statistic probability. Hence character segmentation and labeling are unnecessary. Viterbi algorithm is integrated in the cascaded HMM after the whole sample sequence of a HCC is input. More than 26,000 component samples are used tor training 407 handwritten component HMMs. At the improved training stage 94 models of 94 Chinese characters are gained by 32,000 samples, Compared with the Segment HMMs approach, the recognition rate of this model tier the tirst candidate is 87.89% and the error rate could be reduced by 12.4%.

Data Pre－processing and Stroke Segment Extraction for On－line Handwritten Chinese Character Recognition

The stroke segments:' are proposed to be used as the basic features for handwritten Chinese character recognition. In this way, it is possible to overcome the difFiculties of unstable stroke information caused by stroke Joinings.

A Novel 6G Scalable Blockchain Clustering-Based Computer Vision Character Detection for Mobile Images

6G is envisioned as the next generation of wireless communication technology,promising unprecedented data speeds,ultra-low Latency,and ubiquitous Connectivity.In tandem with these advancements,blockchain technology is leveraged to enhance computer vision applications’security,trustworthiness,and transparency.With the widespread use of mobile devices equipped with cameras,the ability to capture and recognize Chinese characters in natural scenes has become increasingly important.Blockchain can facilitate privacy-preserving mechanisms in applications where privacy is paramount,such as facial recognition or personal healthcare monitoring.Users can control their visual data and grant or revoke access as needed.Recognizing Chinese characters from images can provide convenience in various aspects of people’s lives.However,traditional Chinese character text recognition methods often need higher accuracy,leading to recognition failures or incorrect character identification.In contrast,computer vision technologies have significantly improved image recognition accuracy.This paper proposed a Secure end-to-end recognition system(SE2ERS)for Chinese characters in natural scenes based on convolutional neural networks(CNN)using 6G technology.The proposed SE2ERS model uses the Weighted Hyperbolic Curve Cryptograph(WHCC)of the secure data transmission in the 6G network with the blockchain model.The data transmission within the computer vision system,with a 6G gradient directional histogram(GDH),is employed for character estimation.With the deployment of WHCC and GDH in the constructed SE2ERS model,secure communication is achieved for the data transmission with the 6G network.The proposed SE2ERS compares the performance of traditional Chinese text recognition methods and data transmission environment with 6G communication.Experimental results demonstrate that SE2ERS achieves an average recognition accuracy of 88%for simple Chinese characters,compared to 81.2%with traditional methods.For complex Chinese characters,the average recognition accuracy improves to 84.4%with our system,compared to 72.8%with traditional methods.Additionally,deploying the WHCC model improves data security with the increased data encryption rate complexity of∼12&higher than the traditional techniques.

Processing Chinese hand-radicals activates the medial frontal gyrus A functional MRI investigation

Embodied semantics theory asserts that the meaning of action-related words is neurally represented through networks that overlap with or are identical to networks involved in sensory-motor processing. While some studies supporting this theory have focused on Chinese characters, less attention has been paid to their semantic radicals. Indeed, there is still disagreement about whether these radicals are processed independently. The present study investigated whether radicals are processed separately and, if so, whether this processing occurs in sensory-motor regions. Materials consisted of 72 high-frequency Chinese characters, with 18 in each of four categories： hand-action verbs with and without hand-radicals, and verbs not related to hand actions, with and without hand-radicals. Twenty-eight participants underwent functional MRI scans while reading the characters. Compared to characters without hand-radicals, reading characters with hand-radicals activated the right medial frontal gyrus. Verbs involving hand-action activated the left inferior parietal lobule, possibly reflecting integration of information in the radical with the semantic meaning of the verb. The findings may be consistent with embodied semantics theory and suggest that neural representation of radicals is indispensable in processing Chinese characters.

2-D EAG Method for the Recognition of Hand-Printed Chinese Characters

A method, called Two-Dimensional Extended Attribute Grammars (2-DEAGs). for the recognition of hand-printed Chinese characters is presented. This method uses directly two dimensional information, and pro- vides a scheme for dealing with various kinds of specific cases in a uniform way. In this method, components are drawn in guided and redundant way and reductions are made level by level just in accordance with the com- ponent combination relations of Chinese characters. The method provides also polysemous grammars, coexisting grammars and structure inferrings which constrain redundant recognition by comparison among similar characters or components and greatly increase the tolerance ability to distortion.

PRINTED CHINESE CHARACTER RECOGNITION USING POINT TRACKING INCLUSIVE MATCHING METHOD WITH BACKTRACKING STRATEGY

On the basis of the inclusive matching method, double inclusive matching method and point tracking inclusive matching method, a new method of Chinese character recognition has been presented: point tracking inclusive matching method with backtracking control strategies. In the inclusive matching method, the attribute of character depends on the inclusive rate which describes whether the standard lexigraphy is included in an input character; the point tracking inclusive matching method can speed up the procedure of recognition and reduce the memory room occupied by the standard lexigraphy. In order to suit the large number and the complex forms of Chinese characters, and in order to avoid random noise and interference of input, the backtracking control strategy is introduced into the point tracking inclusive matching method. Using this strategy, the simple branch relative tree can be expanded to the multi-branch relative tree, and several paths for matching characters are opened up. Once matching along one path of the multi-branch tree succeeds, the character is recognized. The result of an experiment in recognizing printed multi-typeface Chinese characters shows this method has a rather strong adaptability.
