Abstract

Dongba hieroglyph is a kind of very primitive picture hieroglyphs. Its picture features allow us to analyse the overall and local features of Dongba characters in combination with the existing feature extraction, simplification and segmentation algorithms for shape in computer vision. Moreover, the analysis of the local features of Dongba hieroglyphs play an important role in the study of Dongba hieroglyph’s writing, the evolution process of hieroglyphs and the comparison between similar hieroglyphs. Therefore, in this paper, we first use the Chain-Code Based Connected Domain Priority Marking Algorithm (CDPM) and the Discrete Curve Evolution Algorithm (DCE) to obtain the simplified feature curve of Dongba hieroglyph. Then, we focus on the selection and adjustment of demarcation points and local curve segmentation. And, the experiment proves that our method can further correct the potential errors in the curve segmentation, which is helpful to improve the correct rate of hieroglyph’s local feature extraction.
