Introduction

The Japanese language is normally written, typed, or printed in a mixture of Chinese ideographs and Japanese syllabic (kana) characters.
Recognition of these Chinese characters is expected to be a bottleneck of computer use in business, management, and many other nonscientific fields in Japan.
A recognition of Chinese characters creates two new problems concerning the OCR --- (1) how to manage the large size of the character set as indicated in table 1 and (2) how to handle complex patterns such as those shown in Fig. 1.
Chinese characters can be classified into four categories from a recognition viewpoint --- printed (or typed) single font, printed multifont, handwritten, and on-line handwriting.
In this article, some approaches ro the problems are briefly described in the case of Chinese character recognition of the Educational Set which contains 881 characters.
