Embodiment

For making the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further elaborated in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the embodiment in the accompanying drawing does not constitute any limitation of the invention.

The present invention is the character process coordinate sequence collection to handwriting input, treatment schemees such as pre-service, eigenvector extraction, rough sort, disaggregated classification, thus finally discern this hand-written character.

Fig. 1 shows a kind of process flow diagram of discerning hand-written inputting method of the embodiment of the invention, and the method that wherein obtains character matching stencil may further comprise the steps:

Step S01 gathers the hand-written character sample of all each character types, and calculates the discrete coordinate sequence of the tracing point of described hand-written character sample; Write on touch-screen with pen particularly, (x, y) coordinate sequence is noted the position of nib when starting writing.The complete handwriting trace of an input character with one (x, y) sequence is represented: (x1, y1), (x2, y2) ..., (xn, yn) }.

Step S02 is for conversion into another discrete coordinate sequence with the discrete coordinate sequence of the tracing point of hand-written character sample, carries out the regular coordinate sequence that pre-service obtains this hand-written character sample; Particularly, utilize a level and smooth continuous function, the discrete coordinate sequence of the hand-written character tracing point that collects is for conversion into another discrete coordinate sequence,, obtains the regular coordinate sequence of this hand-written character with the size of adjusting hand-written character and the coordinate figure of shape and center of gravity; The normalization of character track has two purposes: size criteriaization and shape correction.Shown in Fig. 5 a-5b, character among Fig. 5 a is through having become the shape among Fig. 5 b after the normalization, not only the border has become the size (all characters border after normalization becomes identical size) of regulation, and variation has also taken place shape, the more standard that becomes, thereby easier identification.

Normalization is by two coordinate conversion function x '=x ^aAnd y '=y ^bRealize, the coordinate of every bit in the character track (x, y) replace with (x ', y ') after, just obtain normalized character track.

The method of estimation of parameter a and b is as follows:

At first, find out the minimum value of x and y in the coordinate sequence, x that is had a few and y coordinate are deducted the minimum value of x and y respectively, thereby make the minimum value of x and y all become 0.Then, all x and y are on duty with 100/u, wherein u be the maximal value of an x and y is arranged, thereby make x and y value between 0 to 100.

Second the step, ask stroke track in the horizontal direction with vertical direction on projection.The stroke track is put into the grid of a 100x100, (being the grid of 10x10 in the synoptic diagram) as shown in Figure 6.The stroke length addition in each file grid, just obtain the projection fx (i) of horizontal direction, i=1,2 ..., 100.Equally,, just obtain the projection fy (i) of vertical direction the stroke length addition in each row grid, i=1,2 ..., 100. centers of gravity by fx (i) calculated level direction:

$x_c=\frac{\underset{i=1}{\overset{100}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}i\×f_x\left(i\right)}{\underset{i=1}{\overset{100}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{f}_x\left(i\right)}---\left(1\right)$

Equally, calculate the center of gravity yc of vertical direction by fy (i).

The 3rd step is the coordinate of being had a few and (xc yc) divided by 100, becomes between 0 to 1.Function x '=x ^aAnd y '=y ^bRespectively xc and yc are become 0.5, i.e. x _c ^a=0.5,

Same y _c ^b=0.5,

Through conversion, the center of gravity of character track is moved on to (0.5,0.5) and the border remains unchanged.

In the 4th step, (x ', y ') be multiply by a given multiple, thereby make the housing of character become the size of regulation.We are decided to be 64 this multiple.At last, the coordinate of being had a few in the normalization character track is between 0 to 64.

Step S03 according to described regular coordinate sequence, carries out feature extraction, and the vector line segment that all adjacent track points are formed decomposes eight reference directions, obtains the multidimensional eigenvector of this hand-written character sample; Basic thought is as follows: as shown in Figure 7, stroke line segment (being linked to be a vector line segment between every adjacent 2) is decomposed 8 reference directions of D1 to D8, the line segment length value of all directions in each grid in the record 64x64 grid is calculated the direction character value of two yardsticks then.

The first step decomposes 8 reference directions to the stroke line segment.Being linked to be a line segment between every adjacent 2 in the coordinate point sequence, is a directive vector f _iThis vector f _iDirection between two reference direction D2 and D3, vector f _iResolve into the component (as shown in Figure 8) on two reference direction D2 and the D3, the component length on each reference direction counts the line segment length value of this direction in the grid of place.Like this, on each direction of 8 directions, obtain 64x64 line segment length value.

In second step, calculate large-scale characteristics.64x64 grid on each direction evenly is divided into 4x4 grid, calculate all directions in each grid reach the standard grade length value and, obtain 8x4x4=128 eigenwert.

In the 3rd step, calculate small scale features.64x64 grid on each direction evenly is divided into 8x8 grid, calculate all directions in each grid reach the standard grade length value and, obtain 8x8x8=512 eigenwert.

Total number of large-scale characteristics and small scale features is 128+512=640.

Step S04, selected part eigenwert from the multidimensional eigenvector of the sample of all each character types is calculated the center of a sample of each character type, obtains the coarse classification that the center of a sample by each character type constitutes; Particularly, according to the Fisher criterion, from the multidimensional eigenvector of the sample of each character type, choose and make Fisher than maximum several features value, calculate the center of a sample of each character type, obtain the coarse classification that the center of a sample by each character type constitutes.

The purpose of this step is to obtain coarse classification from the eigenvector of the sample of prestored character classes, in order to improve the speed of rough sort, select a part of feature calculation matching distance, and feature selecting and masterplate design are closed at a training sample set and carried out.Training sample set comprises the handwriting samples of each character class, each sample through feature extraction with 640 eigenwerts (640 the dimension eigenvector x=[x ₁..., x ₆₄₀] ^T) expression.Be provided with the sample of N altogether of C classification, wherein classification i has Ni sample.Selecting the criterion of feature is Fisher criterion (on the pattern-recognition teaching material detailed description being arranged): the basic thought of Fisher criterion function is, the structure evaluation function, make that the distance between the classification that is classified is big as far as possible when evaluation function is optimum, distance is as far as possible little between all kinds of internal specimens simultaneously.

J schedule of samples of i class is shown eigenvector

(being made up of the part candidate feature), then the center of a sample of each classification (average) is

${\mathrm{\μ}}^i=\frac{1}{N_i}\underset{j=1}{\overset{N_i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{x}_j^i,i=1,...,C---\left(2\right)$

Total center is

Covariance matrix is calculated as respectively between interior covariance matrix of class and class:

$S_w=\frac{1}{N}\underset{i=1}{\overset{C}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}\underset{j=1}{\overset{N_i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}(x_j^i-{\mathrm{\μ}}^i){(x_j^i-{\mathrm{\μ}}^i)}^T---\left(3\right)$

$S_b=\frac{1}{N}\underset{i=1}{\overset{C}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{N}_i({\mathrm{\μ}}^i-{\mathrm{\μ}}^0){({\mathrm{\μ}}^i-{\mathrm{\μ}}^0)}^T---\left(4\right)$

The target of feature selecting is on the basis of selecting Partial Feature, matrix

Mark

(Fisher ratio) reaches maximal value.Here Candidate feature changes in feature selection process.Seeking Fisher is a combinatorial optimization problem than maximum characteristics combination, available order sweep forward method approximate solution:

Calculate the Fisher ratio of each feature earlier, select Fisher than maximum feature.Then in the remaining feature each is calculated the Fisher ratio with selecting feature composition characteristic vector successively, select Fisher to add and has selected feature than maximum feature.So repeatedly, till selecting feature to reach specified number or amount (being decided to be below 100).

The detailed process of feature selecting is as follows: at first with in 640 features each successively as the candidate, calculate the Fisher ratio, with Fisher than a maximum feature as first feature of electing.Then each feature of electing with the first time successively in 639 remaining features (this moment, candidate feature had two) is estimated, selected Fisher than the maximum combination that contains 2 eigenwerts.Then in 638 remaining features each is estimated with combine (this moment, candidate feature had 3) of containing 2 eigenwerts elected previously successively, selected Fisher than the maximum combination that contains 3 eigenwerts.So repeatedly, till the characteristic number of electing reaches the number of appointment.After feature selecting was finished, feature set was also just fixing.

Through after the feature selecting, the coarse classification of each classification is the center (average) of a class sample, calculates with formula (2).

Step S05, according to Fisher criterion calculated characteristics transformation matrix, utilize this transformation matrix that the multidimensional eigenvector of the sample of each character type is carried out eigentransformation, recomputate the center of a sample of each character type, obtain the template in fine classification that the center of a sample by each character type constitutes; In order to obtain higher accuracy of identification, the disaggregated classification feature is taked eigentransformation, rather than feature selecting, (vector of d＜D), the eigenvector dimension after the eigentransformation generally is decided to be between 100 to 150 promptly the eigenvector of original D=640 dimension to be obtained low-dimensional through linear conversion.Utilize formula: y=Wx carries out eigentransformation, and wherein W is the transformation matrix of dxD.Finding the solution transformation matrix makes Fisher compare tr[(WS _wW ^T) ^-1W ^TS _bW ^T] maximum, its result, each row of W is a matrix

D the latent vector (this is the mathematical method of standard, needn't give unnecessary details) of corresponding eigenvalue maximum.Through behind the dimensionality reduction, the masterplate of each classification is the center (formula (2)) of a class sample.

The eigentransformation matrix and the classification masterplate that obtain as top can't obtain very high accuracy of identification.For this reason, transformation matrix and classification masterplate are carried out the iteration adjustment, the classification error (each sample is assigned to nearest classification) of closing at training sample set is gradually reduced.At first, the weight of all training samples is made as 1, transformation matrix that obtains with the Fisher criterion and classification center masterplate are to all training sample classification, and each wrong sample weights of dividing adds 1.If sample

The weight table of (j sample of i class) is shown

Recomputate in class center, the class and covariance matrix between class by following formula:

${\mathrm{\μ}}^i=\frac{1}{\underset{j=1}{\overset{N_i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{v}_j^i}\underset{j=1}{\overset{N_i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{v}_j^i{x}_j^i---\left(5\right)$

${\mathrm{\μ}}^0=\frac{1}{\underset{i=1}{\overset{C}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}\underset{j=1}{\overset{N_i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{v}_j^i}\underset{i=1}{\overset{C}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}\underset{j=1}{\overset{N_i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{v}_j^i{x}_j^i---\left(6\right)$

$S_w=\frac{1}{\underset{i=1}{\overset{C}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}\underset{j=1}{\overset{N_i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{v}_j^i}\underset{i=1}{\overset{C}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}\underset{j=1}{\overset{N_i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{v}_j^i(x_j^i-{\mathrm{\μ}}^i){(x_j^i-{\mathrm{\μ}}^i)}^T---\left(7\right)$

$S_b=\frac{1}{\underset{i=1}{\overset{C}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{V}_i}\underset{i=1}{\overset{C}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{V}_i({\mathrm{\μ}}^i-{\mathrm{\μ}}^0){({\mathrm{\μ}}^i-{\mathrm{\μ}}^0)}^T,$ Wherein $V_i=\underset{j=1}{\overset{N_i}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{v}_j^i---\left(8\right)$

On this basis by making tr[(WS _wW ^T) ^-1W ^TS _bW ^T] maximization recomputates the class center after transformation matrix and the eigentransformation, again to the training sample classification, wrong sample weights of dividing adds 1; So repeatedly, till the classification error of training sample no longer further reduces.

By above-mentioned method step, coarse classification and the template in fine classification that to use in the handwriting recognition process have been obtained; The flow process of handwriting characters identification may further comprise the steps:

Step S06 receives the signal of user's hand-written character input and the discrete coordinate sequence of gathering the input character tracing point, carries out the regular coordinate sequence that pre-service obtains this character afterwards;

The processing procedure of this step and above-mentioned step S01 and S02 are similar, at first with the pen on touch-screen, write, when starting writing the position of nib (x, y) coordinate sequence is noted; The complete handwriting trace of an input character with one (x, y) sequence is represented: (x1, y1), (x2, y2) ..., (xn, yn) }.

Utilize a level and smooth continuous function then, the discrete coordinate sequence of the hand-written character tracing point that collects is for conversion into another discrete coordinate sequence, with the size of adjustment hand-written character and the coordinate figure of shape and center of gravity, obtain the regular coordinate sequence of this hand-written character; The normalization of character track has two purposes: size criteriaization and shape correction.Shown in Fig. 5 a-5b, character among Fig. 5 a is through having become the shape among Fig. 5 b after the normalization, not only the border has become the size (all characters border after normalization becomes identical size) of regulation, and variation has also taken place shape, the more standard that becomes, thereby easier identification.Normalization is by two coordinate conversion function x '=x ^aAnd y '=y ^bRealize, the coordinate of every bit in the character track (x, y) replace with (x ', y ') after, just obtain normalized character track.The method of estimation of parameter a and b is identical with the method described in the step S02.

Step S07 according to described regular coordinate sequence, carries out the multidimensional eigenvector of feature extraction and calculation handwriting characters; Concrete characteristic extraction procedure is identical with the process described in the step S03, as shown in Figure 7, stroke line segment (being linked to be a vector line segment between every adjacent 2) is decomposed 8 reference directions of D1 to D8, the line segment length value of all directions in each grid in the record 64x64 grid is calculated the direction character value of two yardsticks then.

The first step decomposes 8 reference directions to the stroke line segment.Being linked to be a line segment between every adjacent 2 in the coordinate point sequence, is a directive vector f _iThis vector f _iDirection between two reference direction D2 and D3, vector f _iResolve into the component (as shown in Figure 8) on two reference direction D2 and the D3, the component length on each reference direction counts the line segment length value of this direction in the grid of place.Like this, on each direction of 8 directions, obtain 64x64 line segment length value.

In second step, calculate large-scale characteristics.64x64 grid on each direction evenly is divided into 4x4 grid, calculate all directions in each grid reach the standard grade length value and, obtain 8x4x4=128 eigenwert.

In the 3rd step, calculate small scale features.64x64 grid on each direction evenly is divided into 8x8 grid, calculate all directions in each grid reach the standard grade length value and, obtain 8x8x8=512 eigenwert.

Total number of large-scale characteristics and small scale features is 128+512=640.

Step S08, according to the Fisher criterion, selected part eigenwert from the multidimensional eigenvector of described handwriting characters, described handwriting characters is mated with coarse classification respectively, from coarse classification, choose several center of a sample of similarity maximum, and with these several center of a sample's corresponding characters classes as candidate character classes; Particularly, according to the Fisher criterion, from the multidimensional eigenvector of handwriting characters, choose and make Fisher than maximum several features value, the eigenwert number of choosing among the eigenwert number of choosing and the step S04 is identical.

The distance calculation of masterplate coupling is as follows: the multidimensional eigenvector of establishing handwriting characters is expressed as vector x=[x ₁..., x _n] ^T, the center of a sample of a classification is expressed as eigenvector y=[y in the coarse classification ₁..., y _n] ^T, then calculate matching distance by following formula:

$d(x,y)=\underset{i=1}{\overset{n}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}|x_i-y_i|---\left(9\right)$

Step S09, utilize the eigentransformation matrix that calculates according to the Fisher criterion among the step S05, multidimensional eigenvector to described handwriting characters carries out eigentransformation, from described template in fine classification, choose the center of a sample of described candidate character classes, respectively with eigentransformation after handwriting characters mate, from described candidate character classes, determine the most similar character type, select for the user; Return step S06 then, carry out the input identification of next hand-written character.

The purpose of this step is to carry out disaggregated classification, to an input character, after step S08 rough sort is found out M candidate's classification, disaggregated classification adopts than the more feature of rough sort, utilize formula (9) to recomputate the distance of input character, get nearest classification as final recognition result to M candidate's classification masterplate.

Disaggregated classification provides a plurality of (being generally 10) classification of matching distance minimum as final candidate.These candidate's classifications can directly show for the user and select, or utilize language rule based on context to select automatically.

The rough sort of step S08 is that the masterplate of each character class of storing in the eigenvector of input character (character to be identified) and the masterplate database is compared (coupling), the individual classification of M (such as M=100) of finding out distance minimum (similarity maximum just) is found out the minimum candidate's classification of distance as final recognition result again as the candidate in the disaggregated classification of step S09.

Rough sort different with the masterplate that disaggregated classification is compared (feature is also different): coarse classification simple (feature is few), computing velocity is fast, template in fine classification complexity (feature is more), computing velocity is slower.

The purpose of rough sort is after finding out M candidate's classification fast, needn't calculate the distance (only calculating the distance of M candidate's classification) of all categories in the disaggregated classification, thereby improve overall recognition speed.

Give an example and illustrate: have character type to be expressed as: R, S, T, U, V ..., its corresponding coarse classification is expressed as: R1, S1, T1, U1, V1 ..., its corresponding template in fine classification is expressed as: R2, S2, T2, U2, V2 This moment, the user imported a hand-written character Z, mated with coarse classification through after the Feature Selection, obtained several center of a sample of similarity maximum: R1, S1, T1, therefore choose R, S, T as candidate character classes; From template in fine classification, choose candidate character classes R, S, T corresponding sample center: R2, S2, T2, and then will mate with R2, S2, T2 after the hand-written character Z eigentransformation, that obtain the matching distance minimum is S2, this moment just with character type S as last identifying object.

Compare with existing method, the technology in normalization, feature extraction, rough sort, disaggregated classification has some differences:

Normalization: coordinate transform function x '=x ^aAnd y '=y ^bBe new the proposition, the benefit of doing like this is that the function of coordinate transform is level and smooth continuous function, thereby makes the character shape after the conversion more natural, guarantees the center (0.5) of the gravity-center-change of character track to housing simultaneously.Also handlebar character center of gravity was mapped to the way at housing center in the past, but usefulness is piecewise linear function, and the character shape after the conversion is nature, also influences the identification of back.

Feature extraction: the stroke track line segment directly decomposes 8 directions.Existing method is earlier track to be become piece image, and the pixel travel direction in the image is decomposed, and the calculated amount of doing like this is bigger, and the image that generates has distortion.Our method has been avoided generating the calculated amount that image increased, and the direction character that obtains is more accurate.

Rough sort: existing method generally is manually to choose a part of feature (as direct use large-scale characteristics) or adopt eigentransformation.And the aspect ratio artificial selection feature that we select with the Fisher criterion has the better recognition precision, compares with eigentransformation and has reduced calculated amount (because not having linear transformation).

Disaggregated classification: the iteration adjustment of eigentransformation matrix and classification center masterplate can obviously improve accuracy of identification.Existing method is the transformation matrix that directly adopts the Fisher criterion to obtain, and (Learning Vector Quantization, LVQ) algorithm is adjusted classification center masterplate to adopt the study vector quantization then on transform characteristics.Our method can obtain higher accuracy of identification by adjusting transformation matrix and classification center masterplate simultaneously.
