24 Jun 1999TL;DR: In this article, a character pattern is extracted from image data read from a document, listing, etc., and discriminated between a hand-written character and a typed character by a hand written/typed character discrimination unit.
Abstract: A character pattern is extracted from image data read from a document, listing, etc., and discriminated between a hand-written character and a typed character by a hand-written/typed character discrimination unit. The hand-written/typed character discrimination unit obtains, from the character pattern, N feature vectors containing a feature indicating at least the complexity and the linearity of the character pattern; and discriminating the character pattern between a hand-written character and a typed character using the feature vectors. A character recognition unit performs a character recognizing process based on the result of discriminating whether the character data is a hand-written character or a typed character. As a feature of the above described character pattern, the variance of line widths, the variance of character positions, etc. can also be used.

TL;DR: A good actor creates and communicates a consistent and compelling personality throughout a performance of a given role and creates different personalities for different roles.
Abstract: In this context, it is not the personality of the actor that interests us, but the personality of the character he or she portrays. Thus, when we say that an actor is “in character,” we mean that the actor is behaving in accordance with a personality created by an author, shaped by a director, and assumed by an audience, for purposes of a particular performance. A good actor creates and communicates a consistent and compelling personality throughout a performance of a given role and creates different personalities for different roles.
