This paper presents a multiple classifier scheme for off-line hand written Devnagri numbers classification. The main purpose of this research is to find out best recognition result using multiple classifiers. This proposed technique uses simple profile and contour base triangular area representation technique for finding feature extraction and multiple classifier schemes on KNN, LDA, and KNN ne...

Cultural heritage artefacts are often digitised in order to allow for them to be easily accessed by researchers and scholars. In the case of the Bleek and Lloyd dictionary of the |xam Bushman language, 14000 pages were digitised. These pages could not be transcribed, however, because the language and script are both extinct. A custom digital library system was therefore created to manage and pr...

I-band CCD images of two large regions of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 1261 have been used to construct stellar luminosity functions (LF) for 14000 stars in three annuli from 1. ′ 4 from the cluster center to the tidal radius. The LFs extend to M I ∼ 8 and tend to steepen from the inner to the outer annulus, in agreement with the predictions of the multimass King–Michie model that we have ...

As the creation of signed language resources is gaining speed worldwide, the need for standards in this field becomes more acute. This paper discusses the state of the field of signed language resources, their metadata descriptions, and annotations that are typically made. It then describes the role that ISOcat may play in this process and how it can stimulate standardisation without imposing s...
