Several methods have been proposed for average slant estimation and correction. However, average slant estimation has the problem such that local slant will be overestimated or underestimated when the slant in a word varies from character to character. To solve the problem, this paper proposes three methods for local slant estimation, which are simple iterative method, high speed iterative method and 8-directional chain code method. The experimental results show that the proposed methods can estimate and correct local slant more accurately than the average slant correction.}, pages = {1854--1860}, title = {手書き英単語の局所傾き推定と補正}, volume = {120}, year = {2000} }
