Abstract :
Development of optical character recognition for the cursive script such as Pashto requires detailed knowledge of shape variation within Pashto script. The development of image dataset is essential for training/testing of various OCR approaches. This paper outlines various features of Pashto script, and describes the development of an image dataset for an optical character recognition system.
