This study proposes a detection method of bilateral symmetry for Chinese characters that combines different types of character features, such as scale invariant feature transform(SIFT) and contour information. A directed graph is constructed with the basic symmetric elements of a character to describe the enhancement relationships among the elements. Furthermore, the detection of the most significant axes of symmetry in one character is transformed into the problem of finding star subgraphs with local maxim...

1 BackgroundThe natural world in which we live ischaracterized by miraculous phenomena involvingsymmetry.Symmetry is also a significant structuralfeature that profoundly influences the development ofChinese characters.As the foundation of anideographic sc
