Introduction
• Handwriting recognition is the ability of a machine to receive and interpret
handwritten input from multiple sources like paper documents, photographs ,
touch screen devices etc.

• Word recognition is very important area of Document Analysis and Recognition.

• Convolution neural networks uses data driven learning and extraction of

hierarchical features from training Convolution layers in CNN.

• This system will provide the end users to convert the handwritten text into digital
format.
Problem Definition
•This project takes handwritten Devanagari characters as input.
Process the character, train the algorithm, to recognize the pattern
and modify the character to a beautified version of the input.
• This project is aimed at developing software which will be helpful
in recognizing characters of Devanagari language.
•In this work we will design and implement the system for
handwritten Devanagari characters recognition which will also play
an important role in education sector too.
Objectives
To enable system to pre-process the given input to suppress
the Background and select the features.
To detect text regions, present in the image.
To identify handwritten characters.
To retrieve text present in the image and display them to the
user.

Techniques/Models Used
ring-based approach,
pre classification of characters.
segmentation of characters,
normalizing of characters and De-
skewing.
noise filtering, smoothing and
normalization, character extraction
and edge detection algorithm
Scope of Project
•In pre-processing stage, the quality of the input image is checked
& the data of interest is located.
•The feature extraction stage which captures the distinctive
characteristics of the digitized characters for Recognition.
•The classification stage which processes the feature vectors to
identify the characters and words.
•In order to do so the algorithm has to depend on the distributional
properties of the image, this requires a rigorous analysis and
study of particular image and still rigorous programming.

Applications
• 100% text searchable documents
• It is cheaper than paying someone amount to manually enter
great deal of text data. Moreover it takes less time to convert
within the electronic form.
• It is used in post office for reading postal address.
• To convert the fax and news papers into text format.
• A paper based form are often became an electronic form which
is straightforward to store or send by mail.
