Abstract :
This paper presents the results of the HDRC 2013 competition for recognition of handwritten digits organized in conjunction with ICDAR 2013. The general objective of this competition is to identify, evaluate and compare recent developments in character recognition and to introduce a new challenging dataset for benchmarking. We describe competition details including dataset and evaluation measures used, and give a comparative performance analysis of the nine (9) submitted methods along with a short description of the respective methodologies.
