Abstract

In this paper a problem-reduction approach is applied to handwritten numeral recognition and a recognition system is built. A problem-reduction representation (PRR) is used as the structural model for the character into which the semantics is injected. A powerful feature point extraction technique is designed to extract turnabouts on the strokes of a character with the windows of variable size. In terms of this point, a character is segmented into a series of line segments, each with one head and one tail. A nondirection analysis algorithm in problem-reduction approach is used to analyze characters. A heuristic ordered search method according to attributes is developed. A high recognition rate is obtained.
