| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 資訊工程學系研究所 === 95 === With the advent of industrial revolution, machines replace the traditional human power. Even though both the quantity of merchandise produced increases and per unit cost decreases dramatically, the stereotypical outlook of mass-produced goods drives the human innate quest for recognizable traits to differentiate among otherwise homogeneous products. A font personalizing system is proposed to transform standard Chinese vector font, according to a writer’s handwritten characteristics, into a personalized font possessing writer’s discernible features.
In the proposed font personalizing system, a radicals-contours-line segments-control points four-level hierarchical approach is taken in analyzing a Chinese character. Both standard and handwritten characters are decomposed into constituent radicals first. The number of contours of every radical, the number of connected line segments making up each contour and the control points forming each line segment are then derived. The resulting ensemble of information is later used for finding the radical correspondence between standard characters and handwritten ones. Once the correspondence is established, the height-width ratio of handwritten radicals, together with the length and slope of line segments are utilized to modify the matching counterparts in all characters of a standard Chinese font set. In this manner, the representing features extracted from only a limited number of handwritten characters can be used to automatically modify a full set of Chinese fonts. The personalized font set obtained can efficiently replace existing standard fonts to exhibit unique handwritten features.
