Hand Written Digit Recognition using Machine Learning
Rohan Sethi, Ila Kaushik
Abstract
Hand-written character and digit recognition have been one of the most exigent and engrossing field of pattern recognition and image processing. The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate and represent the work which is related to hand-written digit recognition. The hand-written digit recognition is a very exigent task. In this recognition task, the numbers are not accurately written or scripted as they differ in shape or size; due to which the feature extraction and segmentation of hand-written numerical script is arduous. The vertical and horizontal projections methods are used for the purpose of segmentation in the proposed work. SVM is applied for recognition and classification, while Convex hull algorithm is applied for feature extraction.
