Template-Based Handwritten Numeric Character Recognition

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes a stroke-based handwriting analysis method in classifying handwritten Numeric characters by using a template-based approach. Writing strokes are variable from time to time, even when the writing character is same and comes from the same user. Writing strokes include the properties such as the number of the strokes, the shapes and sizes of them and the writing order and the writing speed. We describe here a template-based system using the properties of writing strokes for the recognition of online handwritten numeric characters. Experimental results show that within the 1500 numeric characters taken from 30 writers, the system got 97.84% recognition accuracy which is better than other systems shown by other literatures.
