| Abstract | The proposed approach performs recognition of online handwritten isolated Hindi words using a combination of HMMs trained on Devanagari symbols and a tree formed by the multiple, possible sequences of recognized symbols. In general, words in Indic languages are composed of a number of aksharas or syllables, which in turn are formed by groups of consonants and vowel modifiers. Segmentation of aksharas is critical to accurate recognition of both recognition primitives as well as the complete word. Also, recognition in itself is an intricate job. This holistic task of akshara segmentation, symbol identification and subsequent word recognition is targeted in our work. It is handled in an integrated segmentation-recognition framework. By making use of online stroke information for postulating symbol candidates and deriving HOG feature set from their image counterparts, the recognition becomes independent of stroke order and stroke shape variations. Thus, the system is well suited to unconstrained handwriting. Data for this work is collected from different parts of India where Hindi language is predominantly in use. Symbols extracted from 60,000 words are used to train and test 140 symbol-HMM models. The system is designed to output one or more candidate words to the user, by tracing multiple tree paths (up to leaf nodes) under the condition that the symbol likelihood (confidence score) at every node is above threshold. Tests performed on 10,000 words yield an accuracy of 89%. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
