Japanese elementary and junior high schools have traditionally provided calligraphy classes to students. However, as the number of teachers decreases, so too does the number of calligraphy classes, making it difficult for students to improve their skills due to an inadequate amount of class time. Hence, a system capable of automatically evaluating students' progress on writing characters would enable them to independently bolster their calligraphy skills. Many methods of teaching calligraphy have already been proposed [1]-[3]. However, these require special devices which prove difficult to use. Therefore, we suggest an offline system is best as it is easy to use. In this study, ‘offline' means easily digitized visualization with the use of a smartphone or scanner. This study's participants were elementary school students capable of writing correctly.
