Abstract: A new approach is
introduced to generate and compose Chinese typefaces employing B-spline wavelet transform. Firstly, we model each area-based
curved outline of the Chinese characters using a B-spline
curve, which is determined by a set of control points.
Secondly, the B-spline wavelet transform is used to
represent the control points with several sequences of wavelet coefficients on
several different scales. We then modify the details on different scales by
editing them or by combining the coefficients obtained from different standard
typefaces. Finally, the modified wavelet coefficients are reconstructed,
resulting in a new curved outline for the character being processed.
Experiments show that the proposed approach is capable of generating many
special kinds of typefaces by applying different editing strategies on the
wavelet coefficients.
