In this paper, we explore using this technique to recognize offline handwritten Gurmukhi characters, and a system for offline handwritten Gurmukhi character recognition using PCA is proposed. The system first prepares a skeleton of the character so that meaningful feature information about the character can be extracted. For classification, we used k- nearest neighbor, Linear-SVM, polynomial-svm and RBF-SVM based approaches and combinations of these approaches. In this work, we collected 16,800 samples of isolated offline handwritten Gurmukhi characters. These samples were divided into three categories. In category 1 (5600 samples), each Gurmukhi character was written 100 times by a single writer. In category 2 (5600 samples), each Gurmukhi character was written 10 times by 10 different writers, and in category 3 (5600 samples), each Gurmukhi character was written by 100 different writers. The set of the basic 35 akhars of Gurmukhi has been considered here. A partitioning strategy for selecting the training and testing patterns is also explored in this work. We used zoning, diagonal, directional, transition, intersection and open end point, parabola curve fitting based and power curve fitting based feature extraction in order to find the feature set for a given character. The proposed system achieves a recognition accuracy of 99.06% in category 1, 98.73% in category 2 and 78.30% in category 3.

2 Smart Computing Review, vol. 3, no. 5, October O ffline handwritten character recognition, usually abbreviated as offline HCR, is the process of converting offline handwritten characters into a machine process-able format. In this paper, we present an offline handwritten Gurmukhi character recognition system using principal component analysis (PCA). A handwritten character recognition system consists of several phases, namely digitization, preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. The feature extraction stage analyzes a handwritten character image and selects a set of features that can uniquely be used for recognition of that character. Different feature extraction methods have been proposed for representation of characters, such as projection histograms, contour profile, zoning, Zernike moments, gradient features and Gabor features, etc. Singh et al. [17] presented a study of different feature extractors and classifiers for handwritten Devanagari character recognition. Aradhya et al. [1] presented a multilingual OCR system for south Indian scripts based on PCA. Deepu et al. [5] presented a system based on PCA for online handwritten character recognition. Sundaram and Ramakarishnan [18] presented 2D-PCA for online Tamil character recognition. Bhattacharya et al. [3] presented an efficient two-stage approach for handwritten Bangla character recognition. Kumar et al. [7] presented an offline handwritten Gurmukhi character recognition system based on support vector machines (SVM). In that work, they performed recognition without using PCA and used only an SVM classifier for classification purpose. They also provided an offline handwritten Gurmukhi character recognition system using a k-nearest neighbor (k-nn) classifier [8]. Sharma et al. [16] presented an online handwritten Gurmukhi script recognition system. They used an elastic matching method in which the character is recognized in two stages. The first stage recognizes the strokes and, in the second stage, the character is constructed on the basis of recognized strokes. In the present work, a PCA-based offline handwritten Gurmukhi character recognition system is proposed from experimenting with different recognition methods, namely, k-nn, Linear-SVM, Polynomial-SVM, RBF-SVM and combinations of these recognition methods. Data Collection In this study, 16,800 samples of offline handwritten Gurmukhi characters have been collected. These samples have further been divided into three categories. Category 1 consists of 5600 samples of Gurmukhi characters where each character was written 100 times by a single writer. Category 2 also contains 5600 samples, and each Gurmukhi character was written 10 times by 10 different writers. In category 3, each Gurmukhi character was written by 100 different writers. This category also consists of 5600 samples. All these characters were scanned at 300 dots per inch resolution. As such, a sufficiently large database has been collected for offline handwritten Gurmukhi characters. These three categories have further been analyzed and discussed in this paper. Gurmukhi Script Gurmukhi script is the script used for writing the Punjabi language and is derived from the old Punjabi term Guramukhi, which means from the mouth of the Guru. Gurmukhi script is the 12th most widely used script in the world. The writing style of Gurmukhi script is top to bottom, left to right, and it is not case sensitive. Gurmukhi script has 3 vowel bearers, 32 consonants, 6 additional consonants, 9 vowel modifiers, 3 auxiliary signs and 3 half characters. The Proposed Recognition System The proposed recognition system consists of several phases: digitization, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. Digitization Digitization is the process of translating a paper-based handwritten document into electronic format. Here, each document consists of only one Gurmukhi character. The electronic conversion is accomplished by using a method whereby a document is scanned and an electronic representation of the original document in tagged image file format is produced. We used an HP-1400 scanner for digitization, and the digital image was fed to the preprocessing phase. Preprocessing
3 348 Kumar et al.: PCA-based Offline Handwritten Character Recognition System In this phase, the gray-level character image is normalized into a window sized After normalization, we produced a bitmap image of the normalized image. Then, the bitmap image was transformed into a thinned image using a parallel thinning algorithm [20]. Extraction In this phase, features from input characters are extracted. The performance of a handwritten character recognition system primarily depends on the features that are extracted. The extracted features should allow classification of a character in a unique way. We used diagonal features [7], intersection and open end points features [7], transition features [8], zoning features [9], directional features [9], parabola curve fitting based features [10], and power curve fitting based features [10] in order to find the feature set for a given character. Classification The classification phase uses the features extracted in the previous phase for setting class membership. In this work, we used k-nn and SVM classifiers for character recognition. The SVM classifier was considered with three different kernels: linear, polynomial, and RBF. In addition, a C-SVC type classifier in the Lib-SVM tool has been used for SVM classification purposes. We also used combinations of output for each classifier in parallel, and recognition was done using a voting scheme. We have taken following combinations of classifiers: LPR (Linear-SVM + Polynomial-SVM + RBF-SVM) PRK (Polynomial-SVM + RBF-SVM + k-nn) LRK (Linear-SVM + RBF-SVM + k-nn) LPK (Linear-SVM + Polynomial-SVM + k-nn) Principal Component Analysis PCA is a mathematical procedure that uses transformation to convert a set of observations of possibly correlated features into a set of values of uncorrelated features called principal components. PCA is a well-established technique for extracting representative features for character recognition and is used to reduce the extent of the data. The technique is useful when a large number of variables prohibit effective interpretation of the relationships between different features. By reducing dimensionality, one can interpret from a few features, rather than a large number of features. The number of principal components is less than or equal to the number of original variables. By selecting the top j eigen vectors with larger eigen values for subspace approximation, PCA can provide a lower dimensional representation to expose the underlying structures of complex data sets. Let there be P features for handwritten character recognition. In the next step, the symmetric matrix S of correlation coefficients between these features is calculated. Now, the eigenvectors and the corresponding eigen values are calculated. From these P eigen vectors, only j eigen vectors are chosen, corresponding to the larger eigen values. An eigenvector corresponding to a higher eigen value describes more characteristics of a character. Using these j eigen vectors, feature extraction is done using PCA. In the present work, seven features for a Gurmukhi character have been considered, and the experiments were conducted by taking 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 principal components. Experimental Results and Discussion In this section, the results of the offline handwritten Gurmukhi character recognition system using PCA are presented. The recognition results are based on the k-nn, Linear-SVM, Polynomial-SVM and RBF-SVM classifiers, and combinations of these. As stated earlier, we also experimented with partitioning strategies. We divided the data set of each category using five partitioning strategies. In the first partitioning strategy (strategy a), we have taken 50% of the data in the training set and the other 50% of the data in the testing set. In the second partitioning strategy (strategy b), we considered 60% of the data in the training set and the remaining 40% of the data in the testing set. Partitioning strategy c has 70% of the data in the training set and 30% of the data in the testing set. Similarly, partitioning strategy d has 80% of the data in the training set and 20% of the data in the testing set, where as partitioning strategy e was formulated by taking 90% of the data in the training set and the remaining 10% of the data in the testing set. Category results of the recognition system based on PCA are presented in the following subsections.

The features of a character that have been considered in this work include zoning features, diagonal features, directional features, transition features, intersection and open end points features, parabola curve fitting based features and power curve fitting based features. The classifiers employed in this work are k-nn, Linear-SVM, Polynomial-SVM and RBF- SVM and combinations of these. Database category and strategy recognition accuracy is depicted in Table 16, and we conclude that 2-PC is more efficient than other feature sets. The proposed system achieves an average recognition accuracy of 99.06% fromthe category 1 databasewhen strategy e and the LRK classifier is used, 98.73% fromthe category 2 databasewhen strategy e and the LPR classifier is used, and 78.30% fromthe category 3 database when strategy d and the LRK classifier is used. This accuracy can further be increased by considering a larger data set while training the classifier. This work can also be extended for offline handwritten character recognition of other Indian scripts.
