Abstract

The working module of any Optical character Recognition system almost depends upon printing and paper of the input document image. A number of OCR techniques are available and claim correctly identified accuracy in printed document image in Indian and foreign script. A few report have been found on the recognition of the degraded Indian language document. The degradation in any scanned printed document can be of many types. In this paper, we focus a survey of degraded script identification for Indian Language document.
