Recognition of Handwritten Multilingual City Names Using CNN
摘要
For a postal document to be delivered to the intended location, it is critical to correctly identify the destination city name. When writing addresses in India, individuals sometimes mix up the scripts. The destination city’s name is frequently written differently from the other parts of the postal document. India’s multilingual and multi-script culture makes this widespread there. This paper presents a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based method for handwritten multilingual multi-script Indian city name recognition. Experiments were conducted using English, Bangla, and Devanagari scripts in addition to a single script scenario. The proposed technique produced an accuracy of 91.72% on 106 city names in a mixed script scenario and on the behalf of single script accuracy presented as 96.27% Bangla, 93.30% in English, and 98.20% in Devanagari.
