    Abstract :

    Handwritten Character Recognition (HCR) is the task of recognizing the characters which are present in a digital image of handwritten text. The present paper proposes a novel approach for handwritten digit recognition system. The present paper extracts digit image features based on Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA) and derives classify the digit images using Support Vector Machines (SVM). The present paper mainly concentrates on extraction of features from digit image for effective recognition of the numeral. To find the effectiveness of the proposed method it is tested on MNIST database, CENPARMI, CEDAR and newly collected data. The proposed method is implemented on more than one lakh digit images and gets good comparative recognition results. The percentage of the recognition achieved is about 96.97%.
