STUDY OF AZERBAIJANI HAND-PRINTED CHARACTERS RECOGNITION SYSTEM BY NEW FEATURE CLASS AND SVM METHOD`

Elviz A.Ismayilov

Although there are widely spread Latin scripts in Azerbaijani alphabet, intending special symbols and morphological content of the language requires individual approach for character recognition. In this paper, “soft” (close to human mind, constructed on base of characteristics used in alphabet learning) features and SVM for recognition of Azerbaijani hand-printed characters are used. For character classification, bootstrap resampling procedure of support vector machines is used. Results are compared with results of other feature classes and methods (pp.89-94).

Keywords: “soft” features, SVM, hand-printed symbols, recognition system.
