Character recognition techniques

Includes bibliographical references (page 84)The improvements in image processing techniques and the effectiveness of computers to process and recognize images have expanded the applications of image processing in industry. Character Recognition is a part of image processing and recognition in which a computer is able to recognize characters (A to Z and 0 to 9). In this project several techniques of character recognition are described and their performance discussed. Computer subroutines have been developed for several of these techniques. Experimental results have verified the general character and effectiveness of these techniques in character recognition
