Handwritten Digit Recognition Based on Principal Component Analysis and Support Vector Machines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Handwritten digit recognition has always been a challenging task in pattern recognition area. In this paper we explore the performance of support vector machines (SVM) and principal component analysis (PCA) on handwritten digits recognition. The performance of SVM on handwritten digits recognition task is compared with three typical classification methods, i.e., linear discriminant classifiers (LDC), the nearest neighbor (1-NN), and the back-propagation neural network (BPNN). The experimental results on the popular MNIST database indicate that SVM gets the best performance with an accuracy of 89.7% with 10-dimensional embedded features, outperforming the other used methods.

A new method for recognition of isolated handwritten Arabic/Persian digits is presented. This method is based on Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and a new approach of feature extraction. Each digit is considered from four different views, and from each view 16 features are extracted and combined to obtain 64 features. Using these features, multiple SVM classifiers are trained to separate differ...
