Step 3, to pretreated character with when training the parts partitioning algorithm be partitioned into four parts: main element, the first optional feature, the second optional feature and point connect a parts;
During training, parts partitioning algorithm process flow diagram is with reference to Fig. 5, and establishing M is main element, A 1, A 2Be optional feature, F connects a parts for point, and F.c represents a company unit type, i.e. it is which kind of connects a situation, D. that explanation point connects pen n, D. p, D. rBe respectively number, position, 2 features of a parts, when training, the parts partitioning algorithm is described below:
(1) find out a stroke and main element according to stroke length, all the other strokes are that optional feature and point connect a parts;
Its mid point stroke is length less than the stroke of a threshold value (some threshold value be normalization character duration 1/10), and main element is the stroke of length maximum, and stroke length is with the sum calculating of normalization and resampling post-sampling point.
(2) determine baseline position by main element M;
Specific algorithm is: find out that in M, segment length is greater than the horizontal direction section of overall length 1/6, baseline position is the ordinate position of first paragraph.
(3) utilize Uygur's basic character component rule preliminary judgement optional feature and point to connect a parts;
Wherein Uygur's basic character component rule comprise following some: 1) length of main element stroke is long than other stroke; 2) when two optional features in character were not all sky, these two optional features were the left and right positional structure; When 3) optional feature and some parts were not simultaneously empty, optional feature was positioned at below a parts; 4) optional feature only writes on above baseline.
According to Fig. 5, specific algorithm can be described below:
I) initialization: to remaining stroke, can classify S as 1..., S i..., S n, make A 1=NULL, A 2=NULL, F=NULL, i=1;
Ii) if S iThe position below baseline, F=S i, execution in step iv); Otherwise execution in step iii);
Iii) if A 1=NULL, note A 1=S i, execution in step iv); If otherwise A 2=NULL, note A 2=S i, execution in step iv);
Iv) if i=i+1 is i ≠ n, execution in step ii), otherwise execution in step v);
V) if A 1≠ NULL and A 2≠ NULL and A 1, A 2Be upper-lower position, execution in step vi); Otherwise algorithm finishes;
Vi) if A 1At A 2Top, F=A 1, A 1=A 2, A 2=NULL, algorithm finishes; Otherwise F=A 2, A 2=NULL, algorithm finishes.
(4) according to Uygur's basic character component dictionary, residue optional feature and the company's of putting parts are done further judgement.
Specific algorithm is: calculate D.n, D.p, D.r by a stroke, utilize the value of F and D.n, D.p, D.r to calculate F.c, consult Uygur's basic character component dictionary according to known sample class, in the value of checking D.n, D.p, D.r and parts dictionary, whether the some parts of this character type mate, if do not mate to A 1, A 2, F, F.c the currency correction; Otherwise output M, A 1, A 2, F, F.c, algorithm finishes.
Step 4 connects a component computes time-division direction character for the main element that is partitioned in character, optional feature and point;
Time-division direction character arthmetic statement is as follows:
(1) to each the sampled point calculated direction code in stroke;
Hand script Chinese input equipment Uygur character by a series of Real-time Collections to Grid Track represent, the present invention adopts fuzzy direction code extracting method to sampled point calculated direction code.With reference to Fig. 7, for the starting point of stroke, whole plane is divided into 4 zones, as shown in Fig. 7 (a), and the regional code that directly falls into by direction; From second point of stroke, whole plane is divided into 8 zones, as shown in Fig. 7 (b), wherein that non-shaded portion is the clear area, when stroke direction falls into, directly by regional code, dash area is fuzzy region, when stroke direction falls into, when only having angle when this direction and last direction greater than certain threshold value, judge that just change has occured the relatively last direction of this direction.The decision errors that this method has avoided direction to introduce when the small variations of left and right, separatrix effectively.
(2) stroke direction code sequence is carried out regular, remove the jittering noise in writing;
To every bit calculated direction code in stroke, can form chronologically a direction code sequence, with reference to shown in Figure 8, Fig. 8 (a) is a sample graph of No. 053 parts, Fig. 8 (b) is the enlarged drawing of A-B section in Fig. 8 (a), and the line between 2 o'clock is encoded to scheme method shown in (7), obtains the direction code sequence of A-B section, 444411111121122, as shown in Fig. 8 (c); Be to eliminate the jittering noise in hand-written character, the direction code of change is in short-term replaced with direction code adjacent before it, the A-B section direction code sequence after regular is, 444411111111122, and as shown in Fig. 8 (c).
(3) with time period even division direction code sequence, add up each section direction code quantity and obtain the time-division direction character.
To the direction code sequence after regular, can extract following characteristics: chronologically whole direction code stream is divided into L zone, to each zone, defines 4 dimensional vector X (x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4), x wherein i, i=1,2,3,4 represent the direction code quantity of i direction in this zone.Like this, can obtain 4 dimensional vectors to every sub regions, with the vector of all subregions 4L dimensional feature vector that just forms arranged together chronologically, as shown in Fig. 8 (c).This statistical nature is called the time-division direction character, hop count when L is called with time period division direction code sequence.
Here, the time hop count L value very important, value too hour, between class, a little less than separating capacity, when value was too large, in class, feature was unstable.Contradiction between comprehensive stability of the present invention and classification capacity draws the value of L to the great many of experiments of Balakrishnan sample, to main element, get L m=9, optional feature and point are connected a parts, get L a=4.
Step 5 is averaging by dimension the time-division direction character of each each sample of parts, draws the training characteristics of these parts, deposits handwritten form Uygur's basic character component training characteristics storehouse in.
What deposit in handwritten form Uygur basic character component training characteristics storehouse is three groups of training characteristics: (58 of main element time-division direction characters, 4 * 9 dimensions), optional feature time-division direction character is (6,4 * 4 dimensions), point connects (4 of parts time-division direction characters, 4 * 4 dimensions), the time-division direction character of its hollow part is defined as 4 * 4 dimension full 0 vectors.
Third part, identifying: to handwritten form Uygur character, utilize Uygur's basic character component dictionary, handwritten form Uygur basic character component training characteristics storehouse and relevant recognizer to identify.
The identifying concrete steps are as follows:
