Optical Character Recognition is one of the most interesting and highly motivated areas of research, which has been very much ap-preciated in different aspect to the area of digitations world. Here in this paper we have suggested a probabilistic approach for develop-ing recognition system for handwritten Odia numerals. To report a good  level of recognition of Odia scripts is quite challenging with respect to other Indian scripts .All the procedure are sequentially enclosed to develop an recognition model and report a successful recognition accuracy. Here we have performed the analysis over to standard handwritten numeral database named as IITBBS Odia Numeral Database, which is collected from IIT Bhubaneswar. In the suggestive recognition system we have adopted a 2D-Gabor wavelet transformation approach for selection of feature vector. Apart from it we have also noted down the dimensional reduction to the obtained feature vector by sustaining to PCA. In order to predict high recognition rate we have followed up by RBF Neural Network classifier. In addition to it we have also evaluate different version of RBF like Gaussian and Polynomial. Performing over 400 samples each of 10 categories (400*10) number of Odia numeral images, we have maintained a well-defined training and testing ratio in the clas-sifier and achieved 98.02%, 96.8%.recognition rate for the reported classifiers.

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.

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.

The recognition of a character begins with analyzing its form and extracting the features that will be exploited for the identification. Primitives can be described as a tool to distinguish an object of one class from another object of another class. It is necessary to define the significant primitives during the development of an optical character recognition system. Primitives are defined by experience or by intuition. Several primitives can be extracted while some are irrelevant or redundant. The size of vector primitives can be large if a large number of primitives are extracted including redundant and irrelevant features. As a result, the performance of the recognition system becomes poor, and as the number of features increases, so does the computing time. Feature selection, therefore, is required to ensure the selection of a subset of features that gives accurate recognition and has low computational overhead. We use feature selection techniques to improve the discrimination capacity of the Multilayer Perceptron Neural Networks (MLPNNs).

Abstract Optical character recognition systems convert printed or handwritten scripts into digital text formats like ASCII or UNICODE. Urdu-like script languages like Urdu, Punjabi and Sindhi are widely spoken languages of the world, especially in Asia. An enormous amount of printed and handwritten text of such languages exist, which needs to be converted into computer-understandable formats for knowledge extraction. In this study, extreme learning machine’s (ELM’s) most recently proposed variant called deep extreme learning machine (DELM)-based optical character recognition (OCR) system is proposed to enhance Urdu-like script language’s character recognition rate. The proposed DELM-based character recognition model is optimizing the OCR process by reducing the overhead of Pre-processing, Segmentation and Feature Extraction Layer. The proposed system evaluations accomplished 98.75% training accuracy with 1.492 × 10−3 RMSE and 98.12% testing accuracy with 1.587 × 10−3 RMSE, with six DELM hidden layers. The results show that the proposed system has attained the foremost recognition rate as compared to any previously proposed Urdu-like script language OCR system. This technique is applicable for machine-printed text and fractionally useful for handwritten text as well. This study will aid in the advancement of more accurate Urdu-like script OCR’s software systems in the future.

     The growing relevance of printed and digitalized hand-written characters has necessitated the need for convalescent automatic recognition of characters in Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Among the handwritten characters, Arabic is one of those with special attention due to its distinctive nature, and the inherent challenges in its recognition systems. This distinctiveness of Arabic characters, with the difference in personal writing styles and proficiency, are complicating the effectiveness of its online handwritten recognition systems. This research, based on limitations and scope of previous related studies, studied the recognition of Arabic isolated characters through the identification of its features and dots in view of producing an efficient online Arabic handwriting isolated character recognition system. It proposes a hybrid of decision tree and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), as against being combined with other algorithms as found in previous studies. The proposed recognition process has four main steps with associated sub-steps. The results showed that the proposed method achieved the highest performance at 96.7%, whereas the benchmark methods which are EDMS and Naeimizaghiani had 68.88% and 78.5 % respectively. Based on this, ANN has the best performance recognition rate at 98.8%, while the best rate for decision tree was obtained at 97.2%.

This paper brings into discussion the problem of recognizing Arabic numbers using a monocular camera as the only sensor. When a digital image is presented in this application, optical character recognition (OCR) can be exploited to comprehend numerical data. However, there has been a limited success when applied to the handwritten Arabic (Indian) numbers. This paper aims to overcome this limitation and introduces optical character recognition system based on skeleton matching. The proposed approach is used for handwritten Arabic numbers only. The experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed optical character recognition system even for numbers written in worst case. The right system achieves a recognition rate of 99.3 %.
