Abstract

We propose a new method for natural writing recognition that utilizes geometric features of letters. The paper deals with recognition of isolated handwritten characters using an artificial neural network. As a result of the geometrical analysis realized, graphical representations of recognized characters are obtained in the form of pattern descriptions of isolated characters. The radius measurements of the characters obtained are inputs to the neural network for natural writing recognition which is font independent. In this paper, we present a new method for off-line natural writing recognition and also describe our research and tests performed on the neural network.
