中文摘要：

东巴象形文是由云南丽江纳西族先民创造并使用的,被誉为“世界上唯一活着的象形文字”。在图形识别、内容释读以及形、音、义信息等方面,现有的英文、汉字等识别系统及翻译系统往往不能适用于东巴象形文字,提出一种先拓扑特征处理后投影法特征提取的分步骤信息处理方法,并采用模板匹配法进行文字识别。通过实验验证表明,基于象形文固有特征的提取,利用拓扑特征与投影法相结合的特征提取方法进行东巴象形文字识别,具有准确度更高的特点,是东巴象形文识别的一种有效方法。

英文摘要：

Dongba pictograph has been known as ＂the only living pictograph in the world＂. In the aspects of image recognition, content interpretation, the current English and Chinese character recognition system often can not be applied to Dongba pictograph. Concerning the difficulties in the identification of Dongba pictograph, a new character recognition is proposed. Topological features processing and projection methodcompose thefeature extraction method, then, the character recognition method based on template matching is adopted. It is showed that the feature extraction method based on the intrinsic characteristic of the pictograph, and the Dongba character recognition method based on template matching,has high accuracy through the experiment.
