TLDR
In this article, the structural grid lines, anatomical features and parameters of Latin letterforms have been analyzed using syntagmatic and paradigmatic analysis, and the analysis has been carried out using two techniques, repeated forms and unique forms of letters.Abstract:
The anatomy of letterforms defines the structural formation of letters. The study is based on semiotic approach. The methods used here are Syntagmatic and Paradigmatic analysis. The anatomy is developed through analysis based on the work on Latin letterforms from three different aspect which are structural grid lines, anatomical features and parameters. This syntagmatic analysis is yielded in identification of various structural features of letterforms like terminal, bowl, blob, stem, dot or nukta, ascender and descender. The analysis has been carried out using two techniques, repeated forms and unique forms of letters. The paradigmatic analysis discusses the comparative study of structure and feature of letterforms across different typefaces such as Lohit Bengali, Vrinda, Solaimanlipi and etc. The analysis offers distinct anatomical nomenclatures after analyzing paradigmatic transformations. Further the study categorizes the letterforms according to the appearance of common features.read more

A Bengali Handwritten Vowels Recognition Scheme Based on the Detection of Structural Anatomy of the Characters
TL;DR: A novel scheme for recognising Bengali handwritten vowels using mathematical morphology where the characters are first categorised on the basis of their anatomical features, which does not need training samples to work.

A handwritten bengali consonants recognition scheme based on the detection of pattern primitives
TL;DR: A novel scheme for recognising Bengali handwritten consonants by exploring the primitive set of strokes that construct the characters, based on mathematical morphology, which runs reasonably fast and doesn't require any kind of training.

Study of Assamese Letterform and Its Structure: An Exploratory Approach
TL;DR: The authors explored the original letterforms that existed in various historical articles such as rock inscriptions, copper plate inscriptions and coins and Xaansi (or Saanchi) tree bark manuscripts found in the region of Assam originated from different time periods, by adopting an exploratory approach.

Reply: Pattern Specific Dysgraphia—Beyond Letter Specificity
Shweta Prasad,P. K. Patel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , an individual with dysgraphia while writing Bengali and restricted to letters which required initiation with a circular loop was described, which was not due to the default presence of a bud in the letter, rather due to his writing style.

Feature detection and letter identification.
TL;DR: It is found that efficiency for letter identification is independent of duration, overall contrast, and eccentricity, and only weakly dependent on size, suggesting that letters are identified by a similar computation across this wide range of viewing conditions.

Features for Identification of Uppercase and Lowercase Letters

TL;DR: It is provided the first empirical evidence that line terminations are the most important features for letter identification, and it is proposed that these small features, represented at several spatial scales, help readers to discriminate among visually similar letters.

Grouping in object recognition: the role of a Gestalt law in letter identification.
Denis G. Pelli,Najib J. Majaj,Noah Raizman,Christopher J. Christian,Edward Y. Kim,Melanie Palomares +5 more
TL;DR: To assess grouping in object recognition, letters are made out of grating patches and the effects of three different kinds of shape perturbation on letter identifiability are predicted by a single measure of goodness of continuation, showing that letter identification obeys the Gestalt law of good continuation.

A Journey from Indian Scripts Processing to Indian Language Processing
TL;DR: This overview examines the historical development of mechanizing Indian scripts and the computer processing of Indian languages and the challenges involved in their design and in exploiting their structural similarity that lead to a unified solution.
