Analysis and Implementation of CNN in Real- time Classification and Translation of Kanji Characters

Abstract

This research explores the training outcomes of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm applied to Kanji character recognition. It employs a CNN architecture with 10 layers for recognizing digital image of Kanji characters from N5 to N1 levels. The training of the CNN model reveals varying accuracies, influenced by factors such as architecture, training data size, and data quality. The lowest accuracy, occurring at the beginning of training, highlights challenges like poor random weight initialization and suboptimal architecture. Conversely, the highest accuracy demonstrates the optimal predictive ability of the model after multiple training iterations. The iterative training process refines the model's accuracy over time, with initial challenges paving the way for a better understanding of the data for future improvements. In the subsequent analysis and system development phase, two algorithms are compared to assess the effectiveness of the CNN algorithm in Kanji character recognition. Testing is conducted at various complexity levels to systematically evaluate accuracy. This testing involves complexity levels at each Kanji character level to assess system accuracy. The developed model shows potential for real-time classification of Kanji characters, with a focus on error rate and accuracy during training and testing. The built model can essentially be used to evaluate the ability to recognize Kanji characters effectively. The model's performance can be assessed based on the error rate and accuracy achieved during the training and testing processes.
