This paper presents a vertex-detecting of Hanguel patterns using nested contour shape. Inputed binary character patterns are transformed by distance transformation method and make a new file of transferred data by analysis of charactersitcs. A new vertex-detecting algorithm for recognizing Hanguel patterns using the two data files is proposed. This algorithm is able to reduce the projecting parts of Hanguel pattern, separate the connecting parts between different strokes, set the code number by transformed value of coorked features. It makes the output of results in order to apply the Hanguel recognition.

In this paper, we realized a system that converts the character images of the printed Korean alphabet (Hangul) to the editable text documents by using the black and white CCD camera, We were able to abstract the contours information of the character which is based on the structural character by using the boundary tracing technique that is strong to the noise on the character recognition. By using the contours information, we recognized the horizontal vowels and vertical vowels of the character image and classify the character into the six patterns. After that, the character is divided to the unit of the consonant and vowel. The vowels are recognized by using the maximum length projection. The separated consonants are recognized by comparing the inputted pattern with the standard pattern that has the phase information of the boundary line change. We realized a system that the recognized characters are inputted to the word editor with the editable KS Hangul completion type code.

In this paper, we propose a modified unsupervised linear alignment algorithm for building an aligned corpus. The original algorithm inserts null characters into both of two aligned strings (source string and target string), because the two strings are different from each other in length. This can cause some difficulties like the search space explosion for applications using the aligned corpus with null characters and no possibility of applying to several machine learning algorithms. To alleviate these difficulties, we modify the algorithm not to contain null characters in the aligned source strings. We have shown the usability of our approach by applying it to different areas such as Korean-English back-trans literation, English grapheme-phoneme conversion, and Korean morphological analysis.

In this paper, we realized a system that converts the Korean alphabet (Hangul) images, which are in any domain that is formed by the finger movement on the Hangul document, to the editable characters and then outputs them to the word editor. The domain of hand is separated from the sphere of document in the pre-process step of image. The centroid point of hand is drawn by the maximum circular movement method. After the system recognizes the hand with the circular pattern vector algorithm, finds out the position of finger by the distance spectrum and then draws out the sphere of selected character image by the finger movement to divide the characters into character units by applying the histogram between the Hangul characters. We standardized the characters of various sizes. We used the circular pattern vector algorithm that grafts on the fuzzy inference to divert the character images of the domain, which user wants, to the editable characters by comparing the characteristic vectors between the standard pattern character and the inputted character and by recognizing the character.

Conventional methods of automatic recognition of Korean characters consist of the thinning processing, the segmentation of connected fundamental phonemes and the recognition of each fundamental character. These methods, however require the thinning processing which is complex and time consuming. Also several noise components make worse effects on the recognition of characters than in the case of no thinning. This paper describes the extraction method of the feature components of Korean fundamental characters of the Gothic Korean letter without the thinning. We regard line-components of the contour which describes the character's external boundary as the feature-components. The line-component includes the directional code, the length and the start point in the image. Each fundamental character is represented by the string of directional codes. Therefore the recognition process is only the string pattern matching. We use the Gothic-hangul in the experiment. The ecognition rate is 92%.

With the increasing use of touch-enabled mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs, the works are done on desktop computers and smartphones, and tablet PCs perform laptops. However, due to the nature of smart devices that require portability, QWERTY keyboard is densely arranged in a small screen. This is the cause of different typographical errors when using the mechanical QWERTY keyboard. Unlike the mechanical QWERTY keyboard, which has enough space for each button, QWERTY keyboard on the touch screen often has a small area assigned to each button, so that it is often the case that the surrounding buttons are input rather than the button the user intends to press. In this paper, we propose a method to automatically correct the input errors of the QWERTY keyboard in the touch screen environment by using the n-gram language model using the word unigram and the bigram probability.
