Abstract

A form evaluation system for brush-written Chinese characters is developed. Calligraphic knowledge used in the system is represented in the form of rules with the help of a data structure proposed in this paper. Reflecting the specific hierarchical relations among radicals and strokes of Chinese characters, the proposed data structure is based upon a character model that can generate brush-written Chinese characters on a computer. Through evaluation experiments using the developed system, it is shown that representation of calligraphic knowledge and form evaluation of Chinese characters can be smoothly realized if the data structure is utilized.
