Seal Character Strokes Segmentation Method Based on the Skeleton
一种基于骨架的篆字笔划分割方法

This paper introduced a method how to segment seal character stroke from the skeleton image according to the art characteristics of seal-engraving. Firstly, we got the seal character skeleton through thinning algorithm. hhen we analysed the intersections and cross area of the skeleton image, forming some sub-strokes. Finally, we used the template matching method to get the sulrstrokes to be combined from the neighborhood of each intersection region, eventually combined the character elements into the seal character strokes. The experiment shows that the method is effective.
