| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents an efficient Online Handwritten
character Recognition System for Malayalam Characters
(OHR-M) using Kohonen network. It would help in
recognizing Malayalam text entered using pen-like devices. It
will be more natural and efficient way for users to enter text
using a pen than keyboard and mouse. To identify the
difference between similar characters in Malayalam a novel
feature extraction method has been adopted-a combination of
context bitmap and normalized (x, y) coordinates. The system
reported an accuracy of 88.75% which is writer independent
with a recognition time of 15-32 milliseconds | en_US |
