The invention discloses a soft-pen Chinese character conversion method based on the edition of handwriting characteristics. The above method can be used for extracting the handwriting characteristics of Chinese characters in an inscription / soft-pen copybook and generating soft-pen Chinese characters that are customized in handwriting characteristics. The method comprises the steps of firstly, selecting an appropriate noise-reduction algorithm, a binary operation and a contour smoothing method to pre-process an original inscription image and improve the contrast ratio of the inscription image relative to a background; secondly, positioning each single Chinese character through the segmenting and normalizing operation; thirdly, realizing a stroke extraction and optimization algorithm based on contour triangulation, constructing a triangular mesh for Chinese characters based on the above pre-processing operation, and marking out stroke segments; at the same time, dividing stroke sets based on handwriting characteristics; and finally, providing a Chinese character distortion generating algorithm based on stroke characteristics. According to the technical scheme of the invention, in combination of a customized characteristic matrix composed of stroke center lines, width, contraction speed, flexibility and other factors, and inputted distortion requirements, the characteristic matrix is modified. Therefore, Chinese character images of different handwriting characteristics can be generated.
