A Chinese font recognition method based on empirical mode decomposition. Journal of Software, 2005,16(8):1438−1444. DOI: 10.1360/jos161438 Abstract: This paper gives a novel approach to recognize Chinese fonts based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). By analyzing and comparing a great number of Chinese characters, 8 basic strokes are selected to characterize the structural attributes of Chinese fonts. Based on them, stroke feature sequences of each text block are calculated. Once decomposed by EMD, their first two intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), which are of the highest frequencies, are used to calculate the stroke energy of all the 8 basic strokes, forming the average of the energy of the two IMFs over the length of the sequence . To distinguish bold fonts from their regular fonts, average of the pixels gray levels
