Improving a knowledge based approach for recognition of typed text characters using a 2-D FT

Abstract

A nonconventional text character extraction technique, called horizontal-vertical projection (HVP), has been used for feature extraction of numerous alphanumeric symbols. In an earlier paper a classification algorithm based on a 1-D Fourier transform (FT) was used with NVP. An alternative 2-D FT feature extraction technique is presented and shown to improve on the 1-D approach.<>
