Leveraging Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks for Synthetic Devanagari Handwriting Generation
摘要
The generation of realistic handwritten text has gained substantial attention in the field of pattern recognition and computer vision, especially for low-resource scripts such as Devanagari. This study explores the use of Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGANs) to generate high-quality synthetic Devanagari handwriting. This research explores the application of Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGANs) for generating synthetic handwritten Devnagari characters using Devanagari handwritten characters IIIT-HW-DEV dataset. This study evaluates the architecture's ability to produce realistic and diverse images. Quantitative metrics, such as Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) scores, and qualitative visual assessments are used to measure performance. Results indicate the efficacy of DCGAN in generating visually coherent digits, with potential implications for data augmentation and handwriting simulation applications. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model can produce legible, diverse, and stylistically consistent handwritten Devanagari characters.
