The present system comprises (a) a character input unit for providing the coordinates of a plurality of points of an input character, (b) a pre-process unit for normalizing the size and the position of said input character, (c) three points approximate unit for providing three feature points for each stroke of the input character, (d) a reference pattern storage for providing the coordinates of the feature points for each stroke of the reference characters, (e) a stroke difference calculator for providing the sum p.sub.i of the length between the feature points of the k'th stroke of the input character and the feature points of the i'th stroke of the j'th reference character, (f) a storage for storing the stroke difference p.sub.i, (g) means for operating the members (e) and (f) repetitively for all the strokes of the j'th reference character, (h) means for detecting the minimum value p.sub.min among the stroke difference p.sub.i thus obtained, (i) means for operating the members (e), (f), (g) and (h) repetitively for all the strokes of the input character, and accumulating the value p.sub.min to provide the value d.theta. .sub.j, which is the pattern difference between the input character and the j'th reference character, (j) a storage for storing the value d.theta..sub.j , (k) means for operating the members (i), and (j) repetitively for all the reference characters to provide the set of d.theta..sub.j for the given input character, and (l) means for detecting the minimum value among the values d.theta..sub.j and determining the input character as the reference character which provides the minimum value of d.theta..sub.j.

A pattern recognition system operating on an on-line basis for hand-written characters, in particular for hand-written Chinese characters comprises a character input unit for providing the coordinates of a plurality of points on the strokes of a written input character, a classification unit for classifying the input characters to the first group having equal to or less than three strokes, and the second group having equal to or more than four strokes, an approximate unit for providing a plurality of feature points to each of strokes, the number of strokes being six for each stroke in the first group of characters and three for each stroke in the second group of characters, a pattern difference calculator for providing the sum of the length between the feature points of the input character and those of the reference characters which are stored in the reference pattern storage, and a minimum difference detector for determining the minimum length among the pattern differences thus calculated. The input character is recognized to be the same as the reference character which provides said minimum length.

Reference patterns and an input pattern are expressed by the position coordinates of feature points obtained by approximating strokes by a predetermined points in advance. One-to-one stroke correspondences whose stroke-numbers are made equal to each other between reference pattern and the input pattern having different stroke-numbers and different stroke-orders each other are determined, and handwriting distortion is stably absorbed by performing an optimum affine transformation operation for each corresponding stroke pair. The inter-pattern distance between a normalized input pattern obtained by the affine transformation operation and the reference pattern is calculated, and the character categories of the reference patterns are sequentially output as candidate categories in order of increasing distance.
