mountain/metafont-glyphs

A metafont-glyphs dataset which facilitate people to define CJK-like glyphs with their metafont scripts by machine learning

/ 100
Experimental

This dataset helps researchers and digital humanities scholars digitize ancient CJK-like characters, such as oracle-bone or bronze inscriptions, by generating precise geometric descriptions. It takes image scans of these varied, non-standardized glyphs and outputs data that can be used to create Metafont scripts for typesetting. This is ideal for those working on digitizing historical texts with non-standardized or unique character forms.

Use this if you need to create digital, geometrically accurate representations of ancient or non-standardized character glyphs for historical text preservation and typesetting.

Not ideal if your goal is to simply recognize and transcribe standard text from images, which is typically handled by OCR.
