Abstract

In recent data, Optical character recognition (OCR) systems have laid hands in the field of most popular language recognitions. Unlike other languages, the Tamil language is more complex to recognize, and hence considerable efforts have been laid in literature. However, the models are not yet well-organized for precise recognition of Tamil characters. Thus, the current research work develops a novel Tamil Handwritten Character Recognition approach by following two major processes, viz. pre-processing and recognition. The pre-processing phase encloses RGB to grayscale conversion, binarization with thresholding, image complementation, morphological operations, and linearization. Subsequently, the pre-processed image after linearization is subjected to recognition via an optimally configured Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). More particularly, the fully connected layer and weights are fine-tuned by a new Self Adaptive Lion Algorithm (SALA) that is the conceptual improvement of the standard Lion Algorithm (LA). The performance of the proposed work is compared and proved over other state-of-the-art models with respect to certain performance measures. Keywords Tamil character recognition . Pre-processing .
