摘要: High accuracy character recognition techniques can provide useful information for segmentation-based handwritten word systems. This research describes neural network-based segmented that may be applied to the segmentation and components of an off-line system. Two architectures along with two different feature extraction were investigated. A novel technique is discussed compared others in literature. Recognition results above 80% are reported using characters automatically from CEDAR benchmark database as well standard alphanumerics.
