본 논문에서는 저해상도 한글 영상을 자소 단위로 분리하는 방법을 제안한다. 비디오 자막이나 저해상도 스캔 영상의 경우 자소간 획이 접촉되거나 잡영이 많이 포함되어 기존의 자소 분할 방법으로는 한계가 있다. 한자 문자열을 문자 단위로 분할하는데 사용된 비선형 분할 경로 알고리즘을 한글 낱자 영상에 적용하여 자소 단위로 분할한다. 기존의 분할 경로 알고리즘을 한글 자소 분할에 효과적으로 적용하기 위해서 우세점 탐지 알고리즘을 이용하여 자소간 접촉점을 찾고 이를 바탕으로 생성된 분할 경로에 따라 여러 개의 자소 후보 영상이 생성된다. 자소 영상을 자소 인식기로 인식한 결과 높은 인식률을 보이는 것을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

This paper descibes the study of application of a modified Neocognitron model with backward path for the recognition of Hangul(Korean) syllabic characters. In this original report, Fukushima demonstrated that Neocognitron can recognize hand written numerical characters of $19{\times}19$ size. This version accepts $61{\times}61$ images of handwritten Hangul syllabic characters or a part thereof with a mouse or with a scanner. It consists of an input layer and 3 pairs of Uc layers. The last Uc layer of this version, recognition layer, consists of 24 planes of $5{\times}5$ cells which tell us the identity of a grapheme receiving attention at one time and its relative position in the input layer respectively. It has been trained 10 simple vowel graphemes and 14 simple consonant graphemes and their spatial features. Some patterns which are not easily trained have been trained more extrensively. The trained nerwork which can classify indivisual graphemes with possible deformation, noise, size variance, transformation or retation wre then used to recongnize Korean syllabic characters using its selective attention mechanism for image segmentation task within a syllabic characters. On initial sample tests on input characters our model could recognize correctly up to 79%of the various test patterns of handwritten Korean syllabic charactes. The results of this study indeed show Neocognitron as a powerful model to reconginze deformed handwritten charavters with big size characters set via segmenting its input images as recognizable parts. The same approach may be applied to the recogition of chinese characters, which are much complex both in its structures and its graphemes. But processing time appears to be the bottleneck before it can be implemented. Special hardware such as neural chip appear to be an essestial prerquisite for the practical use of the model. Further work is required before enabling the model to recognize Korean syllabic characters consisting of complex vowels and complex consonants. Correct recognition of the neighboring area between two simple graphemes would become more critical for this task.
