Recognition of Printed Kannada Numerals based on Zoning Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Zoning is one of the popular methods used for the optical character recognition of documents. In this paper the zoning approach is used for recognition of printed Kannada numerals. The input scanned document image containing printed Kannada numerals is binarized. The noise present in the document in the form of tiny dots is eliminated. The row segmentation followed by the column segmentation is performed on this document to segment out every numeral. The number of regions is obtained from this segmented numeral, which will be used as one of the feature during recognition stage. A morphological thinning algorithm is applied to thin this numeral. In the next stage the number of end points and the coordinate values of each end point are obtained. The zones in which the end points lie, and the regions that each numeral generates, are used for the recognition of the numeral. The proposed algorithm is applied on

Spatial Features for Multi-Font/Multi-Size Kannada Numerals and Vowels Recognition
This paper presents multi-font/multi-size Kannada numerals and vowels recognition based on spatial features. Directional spatial features viz stroke density, stroke length and the number of stokes in an image are employed as potential features to characterize the printed Kannada numerals and vowels. Based on these features 1100 numerals and 1400 vowels are classified with Multi-class Support Ve...

This paper proposes a new method to distinguish the printed digits, regardless of font and size, using neural networks.Unlike our proposed method, existing neural network based techniques are only able to recognize the trained fonts. These methods need a large database containing digits in various fonts. New fonts are often introduced to the public, which may not be truly recognized by the Opti...

متن کاملZone Based Features for Handwritten and Printed Mixed Kannada Digits Recognition
In the field of Optical Character Recognition (OCR), zoning is used to extract topological information from patterns. In this paper we propose Zone based features for recognition of the mixer of Handwritten and Printed Kannada Digits. A digit image is divided into 64 zones and pixel density is computed for each zone. This procedure is sequentially repeated for entire zone. Finally 64 features a...
