Deep imitator: Handwriting calligraphy imitation via deep attention networks

作者:

Highlights:

• Handwriting style features are extracted by a Convolution Neural Network.

• Calligraphy embedding is computed by attention and orthogonal mata-style matrix.

• Calligraphy and character embedding are the inputs of Dual-condition Gated Recurrent Unit.

• Handwriting Imitation results are generated by Gaussian Mixture Model and sampling.

• Subjective and quantitative tests verify the imitation performance.
