Abstract

Numeral Recognition is the process of recognizing scanned images of machine printed or handwritten numbers. This has numerous applications including those in postal sorting and bank cheque processing. In this work, an effective method is proposed for recognition of isolated handwritten Devnagari numerals. The method incorporates in novel way ideas regarding edge directions histograms and splines along with PCA for enabling recognition accuracies that are better than those reported in the literature.
