| Abstract | This paper presents a novel framework for recognition of Ethiopic characters using structural and syntactic techniques. Graphically complex characters are represented by the spatial relationships of less complex primitives which form a unique set of patterns for each character. The spatial relationship is represented by a special tree structure which is also used to generate string patterns of primitives. Recognition is then achieved by matching the generated string pattern against each pattern in the alphabet knowledge-base built for this purpose. The recognition system tolerates variations on the parameters of characters like font type, size and style. Direction field tensor is used as a tool to extract structural features. |
