Online handwritten Gurmukhi word recognition using fine-tuned Deep Convolutional Neural Network on offline features
The recognition of online handwriting is a vital application of pattern recognition, which involves the extraction of spatial and temporal information of handwritten patterns, and understanding the handwritten text while writing on the digital surface. Although, online handwriting recognition is a m...
