Abstract
Character recognition is the technique of identifying characters that have been optically processed (OCR). OCR is a method of converting a wide range of texts, PDFs, and digital pictures into an American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) or other machine-editable format in which the data may be changed or searched. Many applications, such as OCR, document categorization, data mining, and others, have demanded recent improvements in pattern recognition. Document scanners, character recognition, language recognition, security, and bank identification all rely on OCR. There are two kinds of OCR systems: online character recognition and offline character recognition. Online OCR outperforms offline OCR because characters are processed as they are written, avoiding the first step of character identification. Offline OCR is separated into two types: printed and handwritten OCR. Offline OCR is often performed by scanning typewritten or handwritten characters into a binary or grayscale picture for processing by a recognition algorithm. Scanned papers have become more valuable than typical picture files as OCR technology has advanced, converting them into text contents that computers can identify. Over the traditional process of manually retyping, OCR discovers a superior approach of automatically putting data into an electronic database. The most common issue with OCR is segmentation of linked letters or symbols. The accuracy of the OCR is proportional to the input image.
TopIntroduction
Intelligent picture analysis is a fascinating topic of Artificial Intelligence study that is also critical for a number of current open research problems. Learning models to recognise pre-segmented handwritten digits is a well-researched subarea within the topic of handwritten digits recognition. It is one of the most crucial difficulties in data mining, machine learning, pattern recognition, and a variety of other artificial intelligence fields. Despite the fact that no recognition algorithm can match the level of human intellect, it has been shown to be significantly quicker, which is still appealing. Over the last decade, the main application of machine learning methods has proven efficacious in conforming decisive systems that compete with human performance and perform far better than manually written classical artificial intelligence systems used in the early days of optical character recognition technology (Brady & Brandstein, 2020; Campbell & Sturim, 2006; Gaikward, 2010; Naziya, n.d; Samudravijaya, 2010). However, not all aspects of those particular models have been examined before. A tremendous deal of effort has gone into developing effective algorithms for approximating recognition from data by researchers working in machine learning and data mining. Handwritten digit communication has its own standard in the twenty-first century, and it is utilized as a mode of dialogue and recording information to be exchanged with persons most of the time in everyday life. Because different communities may use different styles of handwriting and control to draw the same pattern of characters in their recognized script, one of the obstacles in handwritten characters identification is the diversity and distortion of handwritten character set.
One of the most difficult issues in the field of digit identification is identifying the digit from which the greatest discriminating characteristics may be retrieved. In pattern recognition, many types of region sampling approaches are employed to find such areas (Cai & Liu, 2002; Girolami & He, 2010; Kim et al., 2001; Ruiz, 2010; Vapnik, 1999). The vast variance in individual writing styles is the major source of difficulty in handwritten character identification. As a result, robust feature extraction is critical for improving a handwritten character recognition system's performance. Because of its usefulness in a variety of sectors, handwritten digit identification has attracted a lot of attention in the field of pattern recognition systems. Character recognition systems may be used as a cornerstone in the future to help create a paperless environment by scanning and processing existing paper documents (Durgesh, 2009; Kannadhasan & Suresh, 2014; Saberi et al., 2011; Santosh, 2007).
