Recognition of Bangla compound characters using structural decomposition

作者:

Highlights:

• The proper recognition of compound characters is a difficult problem due to their complex shapes.

• In this paper, we propose a novel character recognition method for Bangla compound characters.

• Our strategy is to decompose the compound character into simpler shape components.

• Our technique is applicable to printed and handwritten characters.

• Experiment is done on printed and handwritten Bangla compound characters.
