摘要

The structure of any Bangla numerical character is more complex compared to English numerical character. Two pairs of numerical character in Bangla resembles to be closed and they are: “one and nine” and “five and six”. We found that, handwritten Bangla numerical character cannot be recognized using single machine learning algorithm or discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Above phenomenon motivated us to use combination of DWT, Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to recognize numerical characters of Bangla in handwritten format. The four lowest spectral components of a preprocessed image are taken using DWT, which is considered as the feature vector to recognize the digits in first phase. The feature vector is then applied to FIS and PCA separately. The combined method provides recognition accuracy of 95.8% whereas application of individual method gives less rate of accuracy. Instead of storing the images itself in a folder, if we can store the feature vector of images achieved from DWT in tabular form. The records of table can be applied in FIS, PCA or other object detection algorithm. Although the technique used in the paper can detect objects with moderate rate of accuracy but can save huge storage against a benchmark database of images. If a tradeoff is made between storage requirements and accuracy of recognition, the model of the paper is preferable compared to other present state-of-art. Another finding of the paper is that, the spectral components of images acquired by DWT only matched with FIS and PCA for classification but do not match properly with unsupervised (K-mean clustering) and supervised (support vector machine) learning.
