Summary :

This paper reports an on-line recognition method of Thai characters being composed of curves, and having many complicated and similar shapes. A character stroke is segmented into clockwise and counter clockwise arcs according as the stroke tracing is clockwise or counter clockwise, by making use of eight directional codes and directional differences of stroke tracing. Intuitively described features such as the sequence of stroke arcs, types of arc and relative positions of arcs are utilized for classifying characters. A multi-step classification method is introduced to achieve a good recognition rate. By applying the method to 69 categories (414 data) of Thai characters, a recognition rate of 100% for learning data, and a recognition rate of 96.4% for test data have been obtained.
