An End-End Method for Handwritten Xibo Font Generation

Published: 25 February 2022 Publication History

Abstract

The generation of handwritten Xibo characters is a key step to explore the secrets of this original text. At the same time, it is also a scientific aid to the current task of rescuing and protecting Xibo characters. Based on the peculiarities of the structure of the Xibo characters, the prevailing customs of plagiarism from generation to generation, and the reasons for the difficulty of obtaining them at present, the generation of handwritten Xibo characters is a very challenging task. Based on the development of existing handwritten fonts in the field of machine learning, combined with the characteristics of the collected handwritten Xibo font data set, we propose to use a generative adversarial network to try to generate handwritten Xibo fonts. Try the existing generative adversarial network models, they are uncomfortable with the task of generating handwritten Xibo characters. Therefore, this paper proposes a feature adversarial generative model combined with an autoencoder. Using this model to generate handwritten Xibo fonts, the experimental results show that this model can stably generate various handwritten Xibo font images.
