Our work links Chinese calligraphy to computer science through an integrated intelligence approach. We first extract strokes of existent calligraphy using a semi-automatic, twophase mechanism: the first phase tries to do the best possible extraction using a combination of algorithmic techniques; the second phase presents an intelligent user interface to allow the user to provide input to the ex...

BACKGROUND There are currently no systematic reviews or meta-analyses of Chinese calligraphy therapy (CCT) to reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to explore the efficacy of CCT for people with neuropsychiatric symptoms. METHODS We searched Chinese and English databases, including the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Wanfa...

Chinese calligraphy has been scientifically investigated within the contexts and principles of psychology, cognitive science, and the cognitive neuroscience. On the basis of vast amount of research in the last 30 years, we have developed a cybernetic theory of handwriting and calligraphy to account for the intricate interactions of several psychological dimensions involved in the dynamic act of...

The categorization of “Iran’s handicrafts” at the intersection “Westernism discourse” with “Orientalism in Qajar period

This paper presents a novel Chinese calligraphy and painting system, which serves as an expressive vehicle for interactively creating Chinese traditional calligraphy and ink-wash painting works. We developed a brush model which gives the user natural control of complex brush strokes. This model enhances the realistic sense of the user’s manipulating the pen with the pressure sense. We also deve...

The paper presents an interactive painting system for generating high quality and artistic calligraphy characters and black ink paintings. The system is based on our original algorithm that is unique in physically simulating the dynamic diffusion of liquid ink into absorbent painting paper. The algorithm creates remarkably realistic strokes efficiently. For rendering 20 strokes in different siz...

Recently, security of the computer systems becomes an important problem. Almost all computers use the password mechanism for the user authentication. But password mechanism has many issues. In this paper, we propose a kind of biometrics authentication method using the combinations of key stroke timings and pen calligraphy. For this method, selection of the phrase is important. We analyzed the k...
