Abstract

This paper describes the Optical Character Recognition of similar appearing characters of Gujarati language. Gujarati language is a type of Indian language. Recognition accuracy of Gujarati Script is affected by characters very similar in shape. Here, Fuzzy KNN classifier in pair with two different features Geometric and Wavelet features are used to handle this problem. Fuzzy KNN not only label the class of pattern to be identified, it also decides strength of that pattern for that class. This makes use of Fuzzy KNN for imprecise class boundary. The test data for similar appearing characters are collected from various sources like scanned pages of text books of Gujarati language, newspapers etc. Train data set is prepared by typing Gujarati characters in different font types and size and then scanned.
