英文摘要Stroke extraction and matching are critical for structural interpretation based applications of handwrit-ten Chinese characters, such as Chinese character education and calligraphy analysis. Stroke extraction from offline handwritten Chinese characters is difficult because of the missing of temporal information, the multi-stroke structures and the distortion of handwritten shapes. In this paper, we propose a compre-hensive scheme for solving the stroke extraction problem for handwritten Chinese characters. The method consists of three main steps: (1) fully convolutional network (FCN) based skeletonization; (2) query pixel guided stroke extraction; (3) model-based stroke matching. Specifically, based on a recently proposed ar-chitecture of FCN, both the stroke skeletons and cross regions are firstly extracted from the character image by the proposed SkeNet and CrossNet, respectively. Stroke extraction is solved by simulating the human perception that once given a certain pixel from non-cross region of a stroke, the whole stroke containing the pixel can be traced. To realize this idea, we formulate stroke extraction as a problem of pairing and connecting skeleton-wise stroke segments which are adjacent to the same cross region, where the pairing consistency between stroke segments is measured using a PathNet [1]. To reduce the ambiguity of stroke extraction, the extracted candidate strokes are matched with a character model con-sisting of standard strokes by tree search to identify the correct strokes. For verifying the effectiveness of the proposed method, we train and test our models on character images with stroke segmentation an-notations generated from the online handwriting datasets CASIA-OLHWDB and ICDAR13-Online, as well as a dataset of Regularly-Written online handwritten characters (RW-OLHWDB). The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and provide several benchmarks. Particularly, the precisions of stroke extraction for ICDAR13-Online and RW-OLHWDB are 89.0% and 94.9%, respectively.(c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
