Abstract
A method, called Two- Dimensional Extended Attribute Grammars (2-D EAGs), for the recognition of hand- printed Chinese characters is presented. This method uses directly two dimensional information, and provides a scheme for dealing with various kinds of specific cases in a uniform way. In this method, components are drawn in guided and redundant way and reductions are made level by level just in accordance with the component combination relations of Chinese characters. The method provides also polysemous grammars, coexisting grammars and structure inferrings which constrain redundant recognition by comparison among similar characters or components and greatly increase the tolerance ability to distortion.
