P. Rajan, Shweta Sridhar · 2017
Ancient Tamil letters and its hand written characters appears in the temple inscriptions are difficult. Besides the ancient Tamil letters and its characters are different from the modern Tamil letters by its character. This paper focuses on the identification of ancient Tamil letters characters and identified them with modern Tamil letters by using computer processing and classification an attempt is made by in this paper, a method for recognizing ancient Tamil letters and its characters from stone inscriptions, by using the so called the contour-let transform method is adopted which has been recently introduced. The previous research works were done by using computer Wavelet transformation which is not reconstructing the curved images certainly as it is. The new contour-let transform method gives a solution and remedy to overcome this issue. The Contour-let transform method is a new 3D approach technique and gives an accurate result whereas the wavelet transform is a 2D technique. The Tamil Letters and its characters from the input image are recognized through the clustering mechanism. Moreover the noise present in the image is removed by fuzzy median filters. In addition to that the Neural networks are also implied to identify the image and compare the data with the modern Tamil usage. It is the right way to get an accurate identification of Ancient Tamil characters from temple stone inscriptions of Tamil Country is obtained.
