Reconstructing Dynamic Character Font Models with Incorrect Stroke Order

This paper considers the problem for reconstructing handwriting character fonts based on the so-called dynamic font method. In particular, supposing that we are given such character fonts with incorrect stroke order, we develop a scheme for correctly modifying the stroke order of characters. Such a scheme is developed by utilizing the so-called starting point fixation method and the dynamic font method. Then it is shown using a theory of smoothing splines that we can reconstruct the character fonts to natural cursive characters even when the stroke order of characters is incorrect. The usefulness and effectiveness are examined by experimental studies.
