This paper proposes a new feature extraction method for off-line recognition of Myanmar printed documents. One of the most important factors to achieve high recognition performance in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system is the selection of the feature extraction methods. Different types of existing OCR systems used various feature extraction methods because of the diversity of the scripts’ natures. One major contribution of the work in this paper is the design of logically rigorous coding based features. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, this paper assumed the documents are successfully segmented into characters and extracted features from these isolated Myanmar characters. These features are extracted using structural analysis of the Myanmar scripts. The experimental results have been carried out using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and compare the pervious proposed feature extraction method.

Feature extraction is very difficult for handwritten Chinese character because of large Chinese characters set, complex structure and very large shape variations. The recognition rate by currently used feature extraction methods is far from the requirements of the people. For this problem, a new supervised independent component analysis (SICA) algorithm based on J-divergence entropy is proposed for feature extraction, which can measure the difference between different categories. The scheme takes full advantage of good extraction local features capability and powerful capability to handle data with non-Gaussian distribution by ICA, and the extracted feature component and classification can be tightly combined. The experiments show that the feature extraction method based on SICA is superior to that of gradient-based and that of ICA.
