Abstract

In this paper, we describe a neural-network-based handwritten alphabetic character recognition system. Feature vectors are generated using a two-pass algorithm to generate direction magnitude images followed by summing over overlapping zones. Crisp neural networks and fuzzy neural networks are trained using back-propagation. In the crisp case, the desired output is high for the correct class and low for all others. In the fuzzy case, the desired outputs are set using a fuzzy k-nearest neighbor algorithm.
