Devnagari numeral recognition by combining decision of multiple connectionist classifiers

Abstract

This paper is concerned with recognition of handwritten Devnagari numerals. The basic objective of the present work is to provide an efficient and reliable technique for recognition of handwritten numerals. Three different types of features have been used for classification of numerals. A multi-classifier connectionist architecture has been proposed for increasing reliability of the recognition results. Experimental results show that the technique is effective and reliable.
