"Bengali Handwritten Character Recognition Using Modified Syntactic Method"

Several approaches have been proposed to recognize handwritten Bengali characters using different curve-fitting algorithms. The syntactic methods that are used to recognize printed Bengali alphabetic characters tend not to be suitable enough to properly distinguish Bengali handwritten characters. The proposed curve-fitting algorithm helps accurately recognize various strokes of different patterns (e.g., line and quadratic curve), thus drastically reducing the error elimination burden. As compared to existing approaches, the proposed modified syntactic method demonstrates significant improvement in recognizing Bengali handwritten characters.
