On recognition of Bengali numerals with backpropagation learning

TLDR
The experiments presented have established the superiority of the MLP and MAXNET combined over the standard MLP classifier and the classical nearest neighbor classifier.
Abstract
The authors address various aspects of the problems associated with processing and recognition of printed and handwritten Bengali numerals. A scheme has been proposed for recognizing handwritten as well as printed numerals with different fonts and writing styles. The scheme was successfully used for the recognition of samples of handwritten numerals and the font from printed numerals with a high degree of accuracy. The scheme was also extended for noisy and occluded numerals. The standard multilayer perceptron (MLP) augmented with MAXNET was used as a classifier. The experiments presented have established the superiority of the MLP and MAXNET combined over the standard MLP classifier and the classical nearest neighbor classifier. >

Classification of Partial 2-D Shapes Using Fourier Descriptors

TL;DR: Experiments with synthetic and real boundaries show that estimates closer to the true values of Fourier descriptors of complete boundaries are obtained and classification experiments performed using real boundaries indicate that reasonable classification accuracies are obtained even when 20-30 percent of the data is missing.
