Handwritten Marathi character (Vowel) Recognition

Marathi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by about 71 million people mainly in the Indian state of Maharashtra and neighbouring states. Marathi is also spoken in Israel and Mauritius. Marathi is thought to be a descendent of Maharashtri, one of the Prakrit languages which developed from Sanskrit. This work is based on invariant moments for recognition of isolated Marathi Handwritten Characters and their divisions. The proposed technique is independent of size, slant, orientation, translation and other variations in handwritten characters. This Book, therefore, provides, new approach towards the handwritten Marathi character recognition.
