Effect of Intrinsic Parameters on Efficiency of Gradient Features

A.M. Hafiz, G. M. Bhat

Abstract



In this paper, the effect of intrinsic parameters is investigated on the efficiency of the robust and state of the art Gradient Features used for handwriting recognition. Ways are found to boost the recognition accuracy of these features. The Gradient Feature parameters investigated, include number of planes, number of components and gradient operator used. The classification accuracy of handwritten digits using modified Gradient Features improves when the new parameters are used. Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms have been used for classification purposes. The data sets used are the Semeion Dataset and USPS Dataset.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information.
