Computer Identification of Constrained Handprinted Characters with a High Recognition Rate
Wen C. Lin,Thomas L. Scully +1 more
TL;DR: A novel technique utilizing a Gaussian point-to-line distance concept for calculation of "feature value" has been employed, and the recognition program extracts the twenty feature values and attempts to determine in which of the forty-nine character classes the unknown character belongs.
