Puneet Jhajj, Dharamveer Sharma . Article:Recognition of Isolated Handwritten Characters in Gurmukhi Script. International Journal of Computer Applications. 4, 8 ( August 2010), 9-17. DOI=10.5120/850-1188
Isolated handwritten character recognition has been the subject of intensive research during last decades because it is useful in wide range of real world problems. It also provides a solution for processing large volumes of data automatically. Work has been done in recognizing handwritten characters in many languages like Chinese, Arabic, Devnagari, Urdu and English. The work presented in this thesis, focuses on the problem of recognition of isolated handwritten characters in Gurmukhi script. The whole process consists of two stages. The first, feature extraction stage analyzes the set of isolated characters and selects a set of features that can be used to uniquely identify characters. The performance of recognition system depends heavily on what features are being used.
