A System for Generating and Evaluating Handwriting-like Characters using Interactive Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

In order to evaluate subject's impression of handwritten characters, we propose a system generating handwriting-like characters. The system automatically generates handwriting-like characters based on genetic algorithm and the characters are shown to a subject. The subject chooses favorite characters from those that were displayed on the screen of the system. Several characters selected by the subject are used as parent characters for the production of next-generations. Handwriting-like characters in which subject's impressions are strongly reflected have been generated by the system.
