STRUCTURAL FEATURES FOR RECOGNITION OF HAND WRITTEN KANNADA CHARACTER BASED ON SVM

Research in image processing involves many active areas, of these Recognition of Handwritten character holds lots of promises and is challenging one .The idea is to enable the computer to be able to recognize intelligibly hand written inputs In this paper, a new method that uses structural features and support vector Machine (SVM) classifier for recognition of Handwritten Kannada characters is presented. On an average recognition accuracy of 89.84 % and 85.14% for handwritten Kannada vowels and Consonants obtained with this proposed method, inspite of inherent variations.
