Skew angle detection of bangla script using radon transform
(BRAC University, 2006)Skew angle detection and correction an integral part of any OCR system. Without proper skew correction, the performance of an OCR will simply not be acceptable for most scanned images. We propose an innovative method for ... -
A survey on script segmentation for Bangla OCR
(Center for research on Bangla language processing (CRBLP), BRAC University, 2007)Script segmentation is an important primary task for any Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software.
