FEATURE EXTRACTION FOR CHARACTER RECOGNITION

02 Jul 2009 (Updated 03 Aug 2009)

EXTRACTS FEATURE VECTORS FROM SINGLE CHARACTER IMAGES

File Information
Description	The m-files inside this zip file extracts features of single characters based on their geometric properties. Two approaches are explained for extracting feature vectors. The final feature vector generated for my purpose had more 120 elements. The features are based on the basic geometric shapes that comprises a single character. It calculates how many basic line segments are there in the given character. Basic line segments like horizontal, vertical and diagonal are what looked for. Their length and area normalized to the entire image are used as features. The number of holes in a image is another feature. SImilar properties are used for feature extraction.
Required Products	Image Processing Toolbox
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1)
