  • Abstract
    We present a novel feature extraction method for offline recognition of segmented Malayalam handwritten characters from their gray-scale images without the usual step of binarization. We investigate a new approach to model handwritten characters using state-space map (SSM) and state-space point distribution (SSPD) parameters. In the recognition stage we used class modular neural network with the proposed SSPD features and this method is found to be promising.
