ABSTRACT

Calligraphy is an important part of Chinese culture. And calligraphy education is the main way to spread calligraphy culture. Intelligent calligraphy evaluation can reduce dependence on experienced calligraphy teachers and effectively enhance the development of calligraphy culture. However, traditional intelligent calligraphy evaluation methods mostly focus on the whole and lack fine-grained analysis, which cannot form effective evaluation results. In this paper, we propose an intelligent evaluation method for calligraphy characters based on deep stroke extraction. By disassembling calligraphy character strokes, a more fine-grained evaluation of the writing results of a single stroke can be achieved. This method consists of two main parts: stroke extraction module that extracts single strokes through a structure deformable image registration-based stroke extraction model; evaluation module that provides detailed quantitative evaluation results from the whole character, radicals and single strokes. The experimental results show that our method can extract strokes of complex calligraphy characters and provide detailed evaluation results of calligraphy characters effectively.
