Method and system for fast making vector font library

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a system for fast making a vector font library. The system comprises a computer, a printer and a scanner. The method includes the steps of firstly, appointing character contents of a to-be-built font library and writing the same in a standard form through a machine; secondly, writing characters according to writing standards in the printed standard form through handwriting, and using the standard form as unit to collect the handwriting characters to obtain a plurality of form images; thirdly, segmenting the form images to obtain character closed contours, selecting some points as key points according to the character closed contours, and screening the key points to obtain optimal key point; fourthly, obtaining character vector contours according to the optimal key point, and generating the standard TrueType font library according to the character vector contours. The vector font library made by the method is high in quality, writing style of an original writer can be kept completely, no manual intervention is needed during font library generating, the high-quality standard font library is generated at one step by the scanned images, and batch production of personalized font libraries is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and system of a vector font, in particular to a method and system for rapidly making a vector font by means of image rotation, cutting, edge detection, key point detection and curve fitting, and belongs to computer image processing technology field. Background technique [0002] Handwritten fonts are standard TrueType fonts that are generated from handwritten text images and can be installed and used on computers. There is an old Chinese saying: Seeing characters is like seeing people. Handwritten fonts can integrate human handwriting into daily work and life, such as emails, text messages, Weibo and blogs, etc. You can choose to use your own fonts to show your own. personality. [0003] The TrueType font library is a new type of mathematical font description technology jointly proposed by Apple and Microsoft. TrueType uses quadratic Bezier curves and straight lines in geometry to describe the outline of fon...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the existing methods and systems, on the one hand, they often use hardware input devices to collect handwritten glyph images. Such writing devices are quite different from paper, resulting in a certain gap between the input text images and the user's real fonts. The generated font library cannot fully maintain the user's writing style; on the other hand, in the process of generating the font library, some manual intervention is often required to modify and beautify the outline of the glyph, resulting in a relatively long generation cycle of the font library, which is not conducive to Batch automated production of fonts
