OCR System for Multilanguage Script Recognition

The objective of this book is to create a novel single platform for Multi-Script Recognition System which will capable to recognize two different languages such as English and Punjabi i.e. the designed platform will recognize more than one language to reduce the office work load where more than one language is official language.Hence recognition of multi-scripts is a goal of recent research. This is a major motivation for the work. Every script has different structure and different characteristics. Due this reason, methods of recognition of different scripts are also different.The segmentation of English text is different from the segmentation of Punjabi text due to different structure. But there are some common features, one is statistical feature (Projection Histogram) and other is structural feature (Number of holes) are extorted for recognition of these scripts.The anticipated structure for detection of multi-scripts such as English Text, English & Gurumukhi Numerals and Gurumukhi or Punjabi Text is illustrated in this book.
