Implementation of Linear Discriminant Analysis for Odia Numeral Recognition

In recent time the character recognition attract the attention of the researchers significantly as it has vast application in several fields. The process of converting input text images into machine understandable code or text is known as optical character recognition. In this paper we have devolved an efficient OCR for recognition of Odia Numerals using Linear Discriminant Analysis and compare the result with principal component analysis. Finally we conclude that LDA has a better recognition accuracy over PCA due to dimensionality reduction.
