Abstract

Handwritten character recognition is always an interesting area of pattern recognition for research in the field of image processing. Many researchers have presented their work in this area and still research is undergoing to achieve high accuracy. This paper is mainly concerned for the people who are working on the character recognition and review of work to recognize handwritten character for various Indian languages. The objective of this paper is to describe the set of preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification techniques.
