Abstract
This paper mainly deals with the new method for line segmentation of Handwritten Hindi text. Line segmentation is the major task in segmentation process. If line segmentation fails word segmentation and character segmentation fails automatically. In this paper we have discussed an algorithm to detect header line and base lines accurately so that we can divide the lines correctly. The average line height is estimated, before calculating the header line and base lines. Performance of this method is checked on the 500 lines of different handwritten documents.
