A review on various techniques used to recognize off-line handwritten Malayalam characters

Abstract

The process of recognizing the script written by different people with different handwriting in different languages
with the help of machines is called Off-line handwritten character recognition (OHCR). It is difficult for machines
to recognize the script in same language written in different localities and circumstances. It is an important factor
that how far machine can achieve the accuracy in recognizing these handwritten records. In this article, it is
examined the off-line handwritten records in Malayalam language.
Malayalam is the Dravidian language which is used in the Kerala state of India, Lakshadweep and Mahi. This
paper presents a comprehensive survey of various techniques with its accuracy rate on Malayalam off-line
handwriting recognition for the past few years. Different feature extraction and classification techniques used in
Malayalam off-line handwriting recognition are pointed out. Then databases chosen for these purposes are also
discussed.

Keywords:

Off-line handwritten character recognition (OHCR), Malayalam off-line handwriting recognition, feature extraction, classification.
