Abstract: The glyphs of the Jiaguwen characters are highly variable, and many of them have several variant forms. Under this consideration, a human-computer interactive dynamic description method for Jiaguwen characters is presented. It describes Jiaguwen characters by stroke-segment-vectors and stroke elements. This method provides a solution to the problems that the internal code space is too small to encode all Jiaguwen characters and the identification of Jiaguwen characters’ glyphs. The method also gives an excellent resolution to the problem of editing digitized ancient Chinese characters.

Key words: Jiaguwen, glyph description, stroke-segments-vector, stroke elements

摘要： 基于甲骨文字形多变, 异体字多等特点, 提出一种甲骨文字形描述方法, 将甲骨文字形进行矢量描述。建立了甲骨文字形描述库, 通过字形描述库自动生成多种甲骨文字形, 有效地解决了由于使用轮廓字形描述甲骨文字形而存在的字形动态编辑和字形变换的困难, 为古文字的数字化编辑提供了一个新思路。
