Aiming for some limit of the recognition-free approach to the segment merged numerals, a new segmentation method is proposed based on GVF mode in this paper. Firstly, this paper presents a new segment model based on wavelet multi-scale analysis and GVF model, and then we apply this energy model to segment the merged numerals. This method got the candidate segment line by contour method, and then confirmed the segment path based on energy model. The segmented digits have a more natural shape than others.
