The Character Recognition of both typed as well as handwritten characters is still an open area of research. Although significant success has been achieved in type written characters but in handwritten it is still to touch an appreciable level. This research proposes an approach of character recognition which besides producing better results of recognition is extremely less complicated as compa...

In this paper, we present an automatic method for character prototyping and font type characterization in machine-printed document images at a character level. To do so, we use a generic textural approach, which considers text as a texture, instead of working at a pixel level like most of the methods proposed so far. In this way, Gabor filtering seems to be an appropriate tool for texture chara...

For two complex vector bundles admitting a homomorphism with isolated singularities between them, we establish a Poincaré-Hopf type formula for the difference of the Chern character numbers of these two vector bundles. As a consequence, we extend the original Poincaré-Hopf index formula to the case of complex vector fields.

We determine the finite simple groups of Lie type of characteristic p, for which the Steinberg character lies in the principal `-block for every prime ` 6= p dividing the order of the group. In [1, Corollary 4.4], Bessenrodt, Malle, and Olsson determine the finite simple groups of Lie type having a non-trivial irreducible character which is in the principal `-block for all primes ` dividing the...

A simple yet powerful technique for selecting features to be used in a pattern recognition system has been devised and applied to an eight-class character recognition problem using a set of 19 000 typed character samples as a data base. High-order joint probabilities have been directly estimated from the data base, thus making it possible to take into account in the feature selection process th...

In the paper, we combined DSP processor with image processing algorithm and studied the method of water meter character recognition. We collected water meter image through camera at a fixed angle, and the projection method is used to recognize those digital images. The experiment results show that the method can recognize the meter characters accurately and artificial meter reading is replaced ...

Handwritten character recognition represents a problem that was approached in many ways by the scientists. Although a generally solution for any type of handwritten characters not founded yet, the obtained results give hopes to continue the researches in this field. In this paper, we present a software architecture used in character recognition: Hierarchical Neural Network (HNN) architecture (H...

Looking for single molecule electronic devices, we have investigated the charge transport properties of individual tetra-phenylporphyrin molecules on different substrates by ultrahigh-vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy and by first-principles calculations. The tetra-phenylporphyrins with a Co atom (Co-TPP) or 2 hydrogens (H2-TPP) in the central macrocycle when deposited on Cu...

We estimate multiplicative character sums taken on the values of a non-homogeneous Beatty sequence {⌊αn + β⌋ : n = 1, 2, . . . }, where α, β ∈ R, and α is irrational. Our bounds are nontrivial over the same short intervals for which the classical character sum estimates of Burgess have been established. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 11B50, 11L40, 11T24
