TL;DR: This paper presents a window-based method for locating within existing outline characters the position of character features from which parameters can be measured, based on the match between outline characters and their corresponding virtual skeletons.

Abstract: The synthesis of existing fonts with characters represented by parametrized structure elements requires determining a set of font-specific global and local parameters. Parameters comprise, for example, the widths of vertical stems, horizontal bars and curved elements, the spacing between vertical stems, the relative position of the junction between arches and vertical bars and serif measures. These parameters need to be extracted from existing outline fonts. This paper presents a window-based method for locating within existing outline characters the position of character features from which parameters can be measured. The method is based on the match between outline characters and their corresponding virtual skeletons.

- 30 Mar 1998
TL;DR: An algorithm is presented that produces a skeleton for an outline character by using the centers of the curves in the character, and by scanning the character in prescribed scanline directions to find the strokes in the skeleton.

A shape analysis model with applications to a character recognition system
Jairo Rocha,Theodosios Pavlidis +1 more
TL;DR: A method for the recognition of multifont printed characters is proposed, giving emphasis to the identification of structural descriptions of character shapes using prototypes, accomplishing robustness to noise with less than two prototypes per class, on average.

TL;DR: A topological model representing the essence of the shapes found in typographic latin typefaces is proposed, which includes sufficient information for matching existing non-fancy outline fonts to the model description.
Extraction of Typographic Elements from Outline Representations of Fonts
Ariel Shainir,Ari Rappoport +1 more
TL;DR: Digital typefaces for computer graphics and multimedia applications should be capable of supporting operations such as font variations, transformations, deformations and blending, but today's most advanced typeface representations support only geometric outline representations and basic font variations.
