Font element determining device and font element determining method

Abstract

The invention provides a font element determining device and a font element determining method. The invention aims at providing a font element determining device capable of determining radicals and constituent parts except radicals. As a solving way, a quantitative data generating part generates quantitative data relative to a contour graph. The quantitative data comprise a size and a central coordinate of a rectangle surrounding the contour graph. A radical configuration mode analysis part determines a configuration mode of radicals and constituent parts except the radicals according to the quantitative data, and divides the contour graph into a first group as the radicals and a second group as the constituent parts except the radicals according to the configuration mode. A transformation part transforms the contour graphs of the first group and the second group to a first point graph and a second point graph. A radical / constituent part recognition part respectively determines the radicals and the constituent parts except the radicals according to OCR recognition of the first point graph and the second point graph.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a glyph element judging device and a glyph element judging method. Background technique [0002] In addition to characters (kanji) prepared with predetermined fonts such as the JIS standard, there are also characters obtained by creating dot patterns (or bitmaps) by users, ie, so-called rare characters. Rarely used characters are mostly used, for example, in names of people and places. [0003] For example, in the merger of cities, towns and villages, most of the cities, towns and villages use different fonts of rare characters. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to combine a plurality of rare characters into one, for example, to use one common Chinese character instead. [0004] Therefore, it is necessary to search for characters with similar shapes of character graphics for rare characters. At this time, one of the common methods is to focus on the radicals of rare characters and investigate characters with the ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this case, the burden on the user required for input is very large

In addition, when searching for similar characters by using type OCR (optical character reading device), type OCR only judges whether the overall shape of the characters is similar, and cannot search characters (rare characters) based on radicals
