Abstract
Research for Manchu character digitalization is at an early stage. This paper proposes a preprocessing algorithm for Manchu character recognition. This algorithm improves the existing Hilditch thinning algorithm so that it corrects thinning error for Manchu characters. The existing algorithm separates the characters into the left-hand side and right-hand side, while our alogorithm uses the central point between the points that strokes exist when it classifies each of characters. The experimentation results show that this method is valid for thinning and classification of Manchu characters.
