Segmentation and recognition of continuous handwriting Chinese text

摘要

This article introduces the basic segmentation problems in Chinese handwriting and also several prior work to solve these problems. A new segmentation method is proposed, which is applicable to both on-line and off-line and off-line systems for free-format handwritten Chi- nese character sentences. This method performs basic segmentation and fine segmenta- tion based on the varying spacing thresholds and the minimum variance criteria. The five most probable ways of segmentation are derived from this stage and all the possi- ble segments are extracted and recognized.
