AI APPROACH TO HAND WRITTEN DEVNAGIRI SCRIPT RECOGNITION by

[n this paper, a system for recognizing hand written Indian Devnagiri script has been proposed. This system uses an AI approach to integrate information from diverse sources. It has three levels of abstraction low, medium and high. At each level of abstraction, knowledge appropriate to that level is used to identfy the components of the higher level concept. At low level of abstraction, a given document is segmented into components, at the meduim level features are extracted from the segment, and at the high level segments are reconized with the help of available contextual information. To deal with imprecise information a new approach based on the fuzzy logic qoncept has been suggested.
