Abstract

Handwritten character segmentation is the process of dividing a character into multiple segments so that it can be passed to the recognition system and on the basis of these segments the recognition system can recognize that particular character. In this process user provides the input through any touch devices like PDA, Mobiles or by the Tablets and the segmentation tool takes the input and break the character into segments. There are various techniques available which performs the segmentation of the handwritten input. The aim of this paper is to do survey of various techniques and find out the best among them.
