The entire character recognition system is logically characterized into different sections like Scanning, Pre-processing, Classification, Processing, and Post-processing. In the targeted system, the scanned image is first passed through pre-processing modules then feature extraction, classification in order to achieve a high recognition rate. This paper describes mainly on Feature extraction and Classification technique. These are the methodologies which play an important role to identify offline handwritten characters specifically in Gujarati language. Feature extraction provides methods with the help of which characters can identify uniquely and with high degree of accuracy. Feature extraction helps to find the shape contained in the pattern. Several techniques are available for feature extraction and classification, however the selection of an appropriate technique based on its input decides the degree of accuracy of recognition.

Gaussian Blur

This paper presents the application of Gaussian blur filters and Support Vector Machine (SVM) techniques for greeting recognition among the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria. Existing efforts have considered different recognition gestures. However, tribal greeting postures or gestures recognition for the Nigerian geographical space has not been studied before. Some cultural gestures are not correctly identified by people of the same tribe, not to mention other people from different tribes, thereby posing a challenge of misinterpretation of meaning. Also, some cultural gestures are unknown to most people outside a tribe, which could also hinder human interaction; hence there is a need to automate the recognition of Nigerian tribal greeting gestures. This work hence develops a Gaussian Blur – SVM based system capable of recognizing the Yoruba tribe greeting postures for men and women. Videos of individuals performing various greeting gestures were collected and processed into image frames. The images were resized and a Gaussian blur filter was used to remove noise from them. This research used a moment-based feature extraction algorithm to extract shape features that were passed as input to SVM. SVM is exploited and trained to perform the greeting gesture recognition task to recognize two Nigerian tribe greeting postures. To confirm the robustness of the system, 20%, 25% and 30% of the dataset acquired from the preprocessed images were used to test the system. A recognition rate of 94% could be achieved when SVM is used, as shown by the result which invariably proves that the proposed method is efficient.

This paper describes a prototype for Brazilian bankcheck recognition. The description is divided into three topics: bankcheck information extraction, digit amount recognition and signature verification. In bankcheck information extraction, our algorithms provide signature and digit amount images free of background patterns and bankcheck printed information. In digit amount recognition, we dealt with the digit amount segmentation and implementation of a complete numeral character recognition system involving image processing, feature extraction and neural classification. In signature verification, we designed and implemented a static signature verification system suitable for banking and commercial applications. Our signature verification algorithm is capable of detecting both simple, random and skilled forgeries. The proposed automatic bankcheck recognition prototype was intensively tested by real bankcheck data as well as simulated data providing the following performance results: for skilled forgeries, 4.7% equal error rate; for random forgeries, zero Type I error and 7.3% Type II error; for bankcheck numerals, 92.7% correct recognition rate.

Text embedded in an image contains useful information for applications in the medical, industrial, commercial, and research fields. While many systems have been designed to correctly identify text in images, no work addressing the recognition of degraded text on clear plastic has been found. This paper posits novel methods and an apparatus for extracting text from an image with the practical assumption: (a) poor background contrast, (b) white, curved, and/or differing fonts or character width between sets of images, (c) dotted text printed on curved reflective material, and/or (d) touching characters. Methods were evaluated using a total of 100 unique test images containing a variety of texts captured from water bottles. These tests averaged a processing time of ~10 seconds (using MATLAB R2008A on an HP 8510 W with 4 G of RAM and 2.3 GHz of processor speed), and experimental results yielded an average recognition rate of 90 to 93% using customized systems generated by the proposed development.

Online handwriting character recognition is gaining attention from the researchers across the world because with the advent of touch based devices, a more natural way of communication is being explored. Stroke based online recognition system is proposed in this paper for a very complex Gurmukhi script. In this effort, recognition for 35 basic characters of Gurmukhi script has been implemented on the dataset of 2019 Gurmukhi samples. For this purpose, 32 stroke classes have been considered. Three types of features have been extracted. Hybrid of these features has been proposed in this paper to train the classification models. For stroke classification, three different classifiers namely, KNN, MLP and SVM are used and compared to evaluate the effectiveness of these models. A very promising “stroke recognition rate” of 94% by KNN, 95.04% by MLP and 95.04% by SVM has been obtained.

Handwritten character recognition is most crucial one indulging in many of the applications like forensic search, searching historical manuscripts, mail sorting, bank check reading, tax form processing, book and handwritten notes transcription etc. The problem occurrence in the recognition is mainly because of the writing style variation, size variation (length and height), orientation angle etc. In this paper a probabilistic model based hybrid classifier is proposed for the character recognition combining the neural network and decision tree classifiers. In addition to the local gradient features i.e. histogram oriented feature and grid level feature, an additional feature called GLCM feature is extracted from the input image in the proposed recognition system and are concatenated for the image recognition procedure to encode color, shape, texture, local as well as the statistical information. These extracted features considered are given to the hybrid classifier which recognises the character. In the test set, recognition accuracy of 95% is achieved. The proposed probabilistic model based hybrid classifier tends to contribute more accurate character recognition rate compared to the existing character recognition system.

Fingerprint image feature extraction is a critical step to fingerprint recognition system, which studies topological structure, mathematical model and extraction algorithm of fingerprint feature. This paper presents system design and realization of feature extraction algorithm for fingerprint image. On the basis of fingerprint skeleton image, feature points including ending points, bifurcation points and singular points are extracted at first. Then false feature points are detected and eliminated by the violent changes of ambient orientation field. True feature points are marked at last. Test result shows that the method presented has good accuracy, quick speed and strong robustness for realtime application.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this work is to present an offline Optical Character Recognition system to recognise handwritten English numerals to help automation of document reading. It helps to avoid tedious and time-consuming manual typing to key in important information in a computer system to preserve it for a longer time. Methodology: This work applies Curvature Features of English numeral images by encoding them in terms of distance and slope. The finer local details of images have been extracted by using Zonal features. The feature vectors obtained from the combination of these features have been fed to the KNN classifier. The whole work has been executed using the MatLab Image Processing toolbox. Main Findings: The system produces an average recognition rate of 96.67% with K=1 whereas, with K=3, the rate increased to 97% with corresponding errors of 3.33% and 3% respectively. Out of all the ten numerals, some numerals like ‘3’ and ‘8’ have shown respectively lower recognition rates. It is because of the similarity between their structures. Applications of this study: The proposed work is related to the recognition of English numerals. The model can be used widely for recognition of any pattern like signature verification, face recognition, character or word recognition in another language under Natural Language Processing, etc. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of the work lies in the process of feature extraction. Curves present in the structure of a numeral sample have been encoded based on distance and slope thereby presenting Distance features and Slope features. Vertical Delta Distance Coding (VDDC) and Horizontal Delta Distance Coding (HDDC) encode a curve from vertical and horizontal directions to reveal concavity and convexity from different angles.

This paper proposes a novel method which enables a Chinese character recognition system to obtain reliable recognition. In this method, two thresholds, i.e. class region thresholdRk and disambiguity thresholdAk, are used by each Chinese character k when the classifier is designed based on the nearest neighbor rule, where Rk defines the pattern distribution region of character k, and Ak prevents the samples not belonging to character k from being ambiguously recognized as character k. A novel algorithm to derive the appropriate thresholds Ak and Rk is developed so that a better recognition reliability can be obtained through iterative learning. Experiments performed on the ITRI printed Chinese character database have achieved highly reliable recognition performance (such as 0.999 reliability with a 95.14% recognition rate), which shows the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
