Description
Summary:Character feature extraction is a key area in computer vision and pattern recognition. Traditional methods often rely on manually designed extractors, which struggle with capturing complex structures and abstract features in character images, limiting their performance. The training and tuning of these models require considerable computational resources and time, reducing efficiency. This paper explores and compares various character feature extraction methods. It integrates two-dimensional wavelet decomposition with grid-based statistical and structural features. A detailed design of wavelet coarse and fine grid feature vectors is presented, starting with the construction and extraction of wavelet coarse grid feature vectors, followed by the finer grid feature vectors. The wavelet fine grid features demonstrate stronger specificity and discrimination than the coarse grid features. Experimental validation on 108 character samples yielded a 97.4% success rate, confirming the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed feature extraction method.
