ABSTRACT

Type classification is a very needed step in recognizing huge character set language such as korean characters. Since most previous researches are based on the composition rule of Korean characters, it has been difficult to correctly classify composite vowel characters and problem space was not divided equally for the lack of classification of last consonant which is relatively bigger than other graphemes. In this paper, I propose a new type classification method in which horizontal vowel is extracted before vertical vowel and last consonants are further classified into one of five small groups based on horizontal projection profile. The new method uses 19 character types which is more stable than previous 6 types or 15 types. Through experiments on 1,000 frequently used character sets and 30,614 characters scanned from several magazines, I showed that the proposed method is more useful classifying Korean characters of huge set.
