INTRODUCTION

 Handwriting Recognition is an ability of a computer to receive and interpret intelligible


handwritten input from sources .

 This project is intended to build a software that understands Hand-writing.

 The user writes with stylus or mouse in his own handwriting and it is recognized by the
system.

 This we are going to achieve by modeling a neural network that will have to be trained

over a dataset containing images of alphabets .


ABSTRACT
 The aim of this work is to review existing methods for the handwritten character recognition
problem using machine learning algorithms.

 The recognition model we have chosen is a convolutional neural network, a feedforward artificial
neural network.

 The application was then tested on a training set consisting of digits with the ability to learn
alphabetical or different characters.

 It has also proved powerful in OCR and ICR systems that could be seen as a further extension of
this work.
EXISTING SYSTEM

 In the running world there is a growing demand for the users to convert the printed documents
in to electronic documents for maintaining the security of their data.

 The basic OCR system was invented to convert the data available on papers in to computer
process able documents, So that the documents can be editable and reusable.

 The existing system of OCR on a grid infrastructure is just OCR without grid functionality.

 The existing system focuses more on background connectivity rather than text region.
i. Less efficient
ii. Time consuming
PROBLEM STATEMENT

Given a handwritten character, the system needs to predict the type of the character.

In other words if we can write the character “A” the system predict the character that it is
truly “A” or the input character is nearer to “A” or something else.

 The purpose of this project is to take the hand written characters as an input process the
character, train the neural network effectively by using the algorithm to recognize the
pattern.
PROPOSED SYSTEM

 The proposed system is what we call grid infrastructure which eliminates the problem
of heterogeneous character recognition.

 In latest system we Neural Networks for image pre-processing and feature extraction.

 Convolutional Neural Networks that are used to extract the features of the images
using several layers of filters.

 The selection of the most feasible techniques and methods is highly dependent on the
available data.

CHARACTER RECOGNITION
Handwriting Recognition methods can be broadly classified into the below two types
METHODS & STRATEGIES

 Preprocessing of the dataset


 Segmentation
 Feature extraction
 Classification & Recognition
 Validation
Pre-processing of the data set

 Data Preprocessing is a technique that is used to convert the raw data into a clean data
set.

 Deletes all the duplicates data.


PREPROCESSING

 Pre-processing stage has several tasks to be done :

i. Binarization
ii. Noise filtering
iii. Smoothing
iv. Normalization
Segmentation

An image of the
sequence of characters
is decomposed into
sub images of
individual characters
Feature Extraction
The Feature Extraction technique explained was tested using a neural network which
was trained with features vectors obtained from the system proposed.
What is CNN?

 CNN stands for Convolutional Neural Networks that are used to


extract the features of the Images using several layers of filters.
Why convolutions?
 The main advantage of CNN compared to its predecessors is that it automatically
detects the important features without any human supervision.
 For example, given many pictures of letters and digits it learns distinctive features
for each class by itself.
 CNN is also computationally efficient. It uses special convolution and pooling
operations and performs parameter sharing.
 This enables CNN models to run on any device, making them universally attractive.

 Convolutions are performed for various reasons

a. Convolutions provide better feature extraction


b. They save a lot of computation compared to ANN
c. Less number of parameters are created

IMPLEMENTATION
 LOADING DATA SET
i. A_Z Handwritten data set from Kaggle
ii. MNIST dataset from Sklearn
 Plotting the number of alphabets in the dataset
Split data into images and their labels:
# Split data the X - Our data , and y - the predict label
X = data. Drop('0',axis = 1)
y = data['0’]

Reshaping the data in the csv file so that it can be


displayed as an image
• In the above segment, we are splitting the data into training &
testing dataset using train_test_split().
• Also, we are reshaping the train & test image data so that they can
be displayed as an image, as initially in the CSV file they were
present as 784 columns of pixel data. So we convert it to 28×28
pixels.
Shuffling the data
 The shuffling is done using the shuffle() function so that we can
display some random images.
 We then create 9 plots in 3×3 shape & display the thresholded
images of 9 alphabets.
Data Reshaping
 Reshaping the training & test dataset so that it can be put in
the model
 New shape of train data: (297960, 28, 28, 1)
 New shape of train data: (74490, 28, 28, 1)

CONCLUSIONS

 The Handwritten character recognition using convolutional


neural network has proved to be a fairly good efficiency.

 It works better than any other algorithm , including artificial


neural networks.

 Improve the system to identify any other characters.


FUTURE SCOPE

 In future work, we train the model to read a whole handwritten or non-


handwritten document and convert the printed text to different languages.

 We also incorporate a personalized scanned file storage set-up for each


registered user. The model can be trained further for specific purposes.
