  • Abstract
    In structural character recognition, a character is usually viewed as a set of strokes and the spatial relationships between them. In this paper, we propose a stochastic modeling scheme by which strokes as well as relationships are represented by utilizing the hierarchical characteristics of target characters. Based on the proposed scheme, a handwritten Hangul (Korean) character recognition system is developed. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is shown through experimental results conducted on a public database.
