DEEP LEARNING BASED CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK FOR HANDWRITING RECOGNITION

Abstract

Handwriting is a taught skill that has been used for thousands of years as a way of communication and recording. Natural handwriting is a fairly simple way for computers and humans to exchange information. Because of their complex typing nature, it is difficult to input data for computers using Indian language scripts.This research investigates the use of convolutional neural networks based on deep learning for the recognition of handwritten script. The proposed technique has demonstrated 75 percent recognition accuracy on average for handwritten English numerals and shows promise for Kannada numerals.
