Abstract

In this paper we have proposed an algorithm for recognition of handwritten Gujarati Numerals. While reviewing the reported work, it was found that Gujarati is used all across globe including India. The proposed algorithm is applied to noisy numerals. In the algorithm we have used invariant moments as feature extraction technique and PCA and SVM as classifiers. We compared the results for both the classifiers and found that for our database SVM gave 90.55% which were better results as compared to by PCA 80.6% for Invariant moments as feature extraction technique. These results can be improved over good quality images.
