Abstract

A spatial statistic based contour feature representation is proposed to achieve extraction of local contour feature from Chinese calligraphy character, and a features fusion strategy is designed to automatically generate new hybrid character, making well use of contour feature of calligraphy and structural feature of font. The features fusion strategy employs dilation and erosion operations iteratively to inject the extracted contour feature from Chinese calligraphy into font, which are similar to “pad” and “cut” in a sculpture progress. Experimental results demonstrate that the generated new hybrid character hold both contour feature of calligraphy and structural feature of font. Especially, two kinds of Chinese calligraphy skills called “Fei Bai” and “Zhang Mo” are imitated in the hybrid character. “Fei Bai” depicts a phenomenon that part of a stroke fade out due to the fast movement of hair brush or the lack of ink, and “Zhang Mo” describes a condition that hair brush holds so much ink that strokes overlap.
