Hindi Numeral Recognition using Neural Network

Handwriting has continued to persist as a means of communication and recording information in day-to-day life even with the introduction of new technologies. The constant development of computer tools lead to the requirement of easier interface between the man and the computer. Handwritten character recognition may for instance be applied to Zip-Code recognition, automatic printed form acquisition, or cheques reading. The importance to these applications has led to intense research for several years in the field of off-line handwritten character recognition. ‘Hindi’ the national language of India (written in Devanagri script) is world’s third most popular language after Chinese and English. Hindi handwritten character recognition has got lot of application in different fields like postal address reading, cheques reading electronically. Recognition of handwritten Hindi characters by computer machine is complicated task as compared to typed characters, which can be easily recognized by the computer. This paper presents a scheme to recognize hindi number numeral with the help of neural network. Keywords— Hindi Numerals, Neural Network, Training, Testing, Images. ——————————  ——————————
