Automatic Facsimile of Chinese Calligraphic Writings

Abstract

To imitate personal handwritings is non-trivial. In

Character feature integration of Chinese calligraphy and font

“…Based on the expression and glyph beauty metrics from traditional Chinese calligraphy, glyph is generated automatically. To further consider contour feature of strokes, Xu et al 7,11 categorize features representing calligraphic style into two parts: the stroke feature which depicts local style and the geometry topology describing global structural feature of an individual Chinese character. Considering both local and global features, Shi et al 21 propose an automatic generation algorithm of Chinese character based on human vision and prior knowledge of calligraphy.…”

“…The local contour feature for each calligraphist can be gained using formula (2). In the integration process, font image is also divided into 10×10 sub-images, 5 s = and 0, 2, 4, 4 θ π π π = − in (7), dilation operator 1 EMask is selected in (11), and 0 k = in (9). ff.r Figure 3 shows the poem "Duan Ge Xing" of a famous poet Cao Cao in acient China, which contains 128 characters.…”

“…In order to speed up generation of Chinese character, much research has been made on automatic imitation of Chinese calligraphy. In general, the algorithms to automatically generate Chinese character can be broadly classified into two categories: strokes and radicals reused algorithm (SRRA) 7,[9][10][11] and stroke order drawing algorithm (SODA) 4,6,8,[12][13][14] . SRRA inherits the idea from the production of font that reused strokes and radicals are employed to construct Chinese character.…”
