Abstract
In the present article, we describe a novel direction code based feature extraction approach for recognition of online Bangla handwritten basic characters. We have implemented the proposed approach on a database of 7043 online handwritten Bangla (a major script of the Indian subcontinent) character samples, which has been developed by us. This is a 50-class recognition problem and we achieved 93.90% and 83.61% recognition accuracies respectively on its training and test sets.
