Leech Step Path Finding Algorithm (LSPFA) is a novel algorithm proposed by us which can be used for intelligent character recognition (ICR) for Sinhala characters. The study is based on an ongoing research which is focused to solve the problem of how to recognize a particular character among a set of Sinhala characters on a digital image via character feature extraction (mainly focused on printed characters, but the proposed algorithm can be enhanced to recognize handwritings too which is more useful in intelligent character recognition (ICR) engines) with 100% accuracy. LSPFA disclose an ability to extract all possible features on any symbol which can depict a character of any natural language. Since that, it will be able to use for character recognition in the adaptive classifier of any ICR, optical character recognition (OCR), optical music recognition (OMR) engine independent of the language used.
