Hindi handwritten character recognition using multiple classifiers
Madhuri Yadav, Ravindra Kumar Purwar · 2017
Humans can easily recognize handwritten words, after gaining basic knowledge of languages. This knowledge needs to be transferred to computers for automatic character recognition. The work proposed in this paper tries to automate recognition of handwritten hindi isolated characters using multiple classifiers. For feature extraction, it uses histogram of oriented gradients as one feature and profile projection histogram as another feature. The performance of various classifiers has been evaluated using theses features experimentally and quadratic SVM has been found to produce better results.
