OBJECTIVE

This is an digit recognition application. We draw a digit in the picture box and the module recognizes the digit and displays the result.

MOTIVATION
Digit recognition module finds itself applied in the following areas:
o

ZIP code recognition.

Lottery ticket recognition.

Cards used for e-payment.

CHALLENGES

5/2/2012 5:01 PM

Every individual has his/her unique handwriting. No imaging system has 100% recognition accuracy.

Actual performance dependent on environment.

INTRODUCTION
This is an digit recognition application. First we draw a digit in the picture box. Then the image processing begins and recognize the digit and returns the result. Database includes handwritten digits which are collected from many people. These digit images converted to binary type before added to the database.

It is herein proposed a handwritten digit recognition system which uses multiple feature extraction methods and classifier ensemble. The combination of the feature extraction methods is motivated by the observation that different feature extraction algorithms have a better discriminative power for some types of digits.

PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

5/2/2012 5:01 PM

Some of the misclassified digits are ambiguous either by segmentation problems, peculiar writing style or distortions. A strategy to reject this ambiguous digits and improvements to recognize the misclassified digits that can be easily recognized by humans are being studied. Our approach is based on the following block diagram.

INPUT DIGIT IMAGE

5/2/2012 5:01 PM

We have used a Bitmap function which allows the user to input a handwritten digit.

11

PRE-PROCESS
5/2/2012 5:01 PM

Digit is written with black digital ink. It searches from left to right for black pixels starting from left top corner of the area specified for writing. A trace of a black pixel is the indication of the presence of a character. The continuous absence of black pixels black could be a gap between two rows. To make sure whether it is a gap, algorithm searches from left to right against every white pixel, if there is no trace of white pixel for the entire row, the gap is confirmed.

12

oTHINNING
5/2/2012 5:01 PM

The digit images are thinned to a thickness of one pixel.

This can lead undesired side-effects ,such as spurs.

(a) threshold original

(b) thinned (with spurs)

(c) Pruned (by 5 pixels)

13

FEATURE EXTRACTION
5/2/2012 5:01 PM

In the feature extraction module, two feature sets are extracted from each digit image: 1. Numbers of ending point, bifurcation, cross and their location, 2. Number of closed curve.

MULTI FEATURE CLASSIFICATION

5/2/2012 5:01 PM

In this phase multi-features such as orientation information, likeness degree are considered to recognize the digit. The digit which has the highest percentage of similarity is taken as the final recognized digit.

5/2/2012 5:01 PM

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

The main goal is purely educational one, a moderate recognition rate of 95% is expected. We will try to recognize handwritten digits of different people.

16

5/2/2012 5:01 PM

FUTURE SCOPE

Future work will focus on better selection of multifeatures and improve the system performance. Multiple digits can be recognized simultaneously.
