Abstract :
This paper proposes an approach to off-line handwritten Thai character recognition by using the concept of fuzzy membership function and fuzzy ARTMAP neural network. The concept of fuzzy membership function is employed in the feature extraction process, while the fuzzy ARTMAP is used as the recognition engine. The experiments have been conducted to recognize both isolated characters and written documents. The results demonstrate a very promising performance of the proposed approach.
