Abstract

Moment descriptors have long been applied in object recognition since the early years of the development of the moment theories. Nowadays, discrete orthogonal moments have been studied and proposed for they are superior to traditional continuous ones. In this paper, a set of moment features extracted from the discrete Krawtchouk moments for Chinese character recognition is presented. A new method of evaluating the variance values of each moment feature is applied in this research. Tested on a set of 6,763 Chinese characters, our newly proposed Krawtchouk moment features perform very well in distinguishing all Chinese character pairs that have similar structures.…
