Abstract

In this paper the Maximum Block Method is suggested for the Feature Extraction of Strokes of off-line Chinese characters. The Maximum Block Method is a technique which enlarges the block from the first found pixel that extracts the skeleton and features of the input characters.The Maximum Block Method is an adequate technique for the correct extraction of the features since the existing thinning methods have shortcomings of making the feature extraction difficult from the distortions generated from the effects of the partial noises, inflection points and blemishes.The printed outputs and Chinese books of the middle and high school students, and other materials are used for the test, It was found that the Maximum Block Method is also an effective technique for the extraction of skeleton line and features, which is the preprocessing of the pattern recognition, for the Korean characters and English as well as Chinese characters.
