摘要
In order to obtain a low computational cost method for automatic handwritten characters recognition, this paper proposes a combined system of two rough classification methods based on features of a vector field: one is an autocorrelation matrix method, and another is a low frequency Fourier expansion method. In each method, the similarity is defined as a weighted sum of the squared values of the inner product between input pattern and the reference patterns that are normalized eigenvectors of KL (Karhunen-Loeve) expansion. This paper also describes a way of deciding the weight coefficients using Linear Regression Method, and shows the effectiveness of the proposed method by illustrating some experimentation results for 3036 categories of handwritten Japanese characters.
