This paper introduces a novel way to perform dynamic regularisation of outline fonts. In the proposed font representation, the characters are decomposed into the components glyph, contour, knot, and number. These components are scaled and mostly rounded before they are assembled.Togetherwith adroitly-definedBézier curves, this implies regularisation of the outlines without explicit grid-fitting...

The font evolution with various types is a great impact on a recognition performance of optical character recognition (OCR) systems. The more diversity of fonts leads to the less accuracy of recognition rate, particularly Thai-fonts. In order to overcome this obstacle, this paper proposes a font descriptor for printed Thai-character recognition. The role of such a descriptor is a representative...

Previous research efforts on optical font recognition have mostly limited applications since they deal with only a few types of font attributes and estimate them from a line or block of text. This paper proposes a word-level optical font recognition system for printed Korean and English documents. At the word-level, it has the advantages of obtaining more detailed font attributes including the ...
