Application for Handwritten Devnagari Optical Character Recognition

Prasad Chavan, Suyog Sankpal, Akshay Sonawane, Shahid Shaikh

Abstract


Recently research towards Indian handwritten character recognition has increased. Many such approaches have been proposed by the researchers towards handwritten Indian character recognition and many such similar kind of systems are available in the literature. In OCR domain, a unique feature extraction method and unique classification algorithm is not efficient. As a result an extraction approach i.e. based on a structural analysis for recognition of offline handwritten Marathi character is proposed.
