As more and more works of calligraphy exists in digital library, traditional browsing and searching are not satisfying. This paper presents an algorithm for calligraphy style correlation discovery based on graph model. We first segment calligraphy work into characters, extract their texture features through 64 Gabor channels, and estimate the calligraphy style using a probability multi-class SV...

This article considers the problem of generating various calligraphy of Japanese character from some limited existing fonts. We propose a generation method based on the deformable contour model g-snake. By representing the outline of each stroke that makes of a character w i th a g-snake, we cast the generation problem into global and local deformation of g-snake under different control paramet...

This paper considers the problem of generating various calligraphy from some sample fonts. Our method is based on the deformable contour model g-snake. By representing the outline of each stroke of a character with a g-snake, we cast the generation problem into global and local deformation of g-snake under different control parameters, where the local deformation obeys the energy minimization p...

A robot testbed for writing Chinese and Japanese calligraphy characters is presented. Single strokes of the calligraphy characters are represented in a database and initialized with a scanned reference image and a manually chosen initial drawing spline. A learning procedure uses visual feedback to analyze each new iteration of the drawn stroke and updates the drawing spline such that every subs...

Calligraphy collections are being scanned into document images for preservation and accessibility. The digitization technology is mature and calligraphy character recognition is well underway, but automatic calligraphy style classification is lagging. Special style features are developed to measure style similarity of calligraphy character images of different stroke configurations and GB (or Un...

The style of writing or calligraphy applied in ancient manuscripts gives useful information to paleographers. The information helps paleographer to identify date, writer, number of writers, place of origin, and the originality of manuscripts. This information is known as features. The features from characters, tangent value, dominant background and also Grey-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) ha...

Gestural interfaced-based computational tools can be more suitable than other kinds of interfaces during calligraphy education to children with Developmental Coordination Disorder. The touchless tools reduce difficulties with handwriting of these pupils because they do not require physical contact and they dispense efforts of fine motor skills needed to perform calligraphy. They also serve as a...

there is not adequate information available about traditional instruction system in the field of visual arts in the pre-modern period. instruction of calligraphy can be considered as traditional instruction of art in a way that its guidelines and instructional texts are remained almost intact. instruction of calligraphy is implemented in aprofessor-student procedure and is accompanied with vari...
