Identification of Kashmiri script in a bilingual document image

Script identification is a very important field in the area of pattern recognition & document image analysis. Commendable work has been proposed and implemented to recognize various common scripts in unilingual, bilingual and multilingual contexts. So far, diminutive work has been presented for Kashmiri script identification. In this paper, we are describing and experimentally testing our approach for identification of Kashmiri script with respect to English script which comprises a text document image. Two important and simple features are used for identification of scripts: Horizontal Profile Coefficients (Peaks) & Horizontal Profile Valleys.
