A Comprehensive Review on Recognition Techniques for Bangla Handwritten Characters

Handwritten character recognition is a challenging task in OCR and for a cursive and complex character set like Bangla, it is even harder to implement. Many researchers have proposed different methods for recognizing Bangla Handwritten character set. It is done through analyzing the structure of the characters or through some machine learning process. This paper represents an analysis and overview of the existing methods for recognizing handwritten basic and compound characters. Methods, success rate, limitations and future scope has been mentioned in this paper. The purpose of this paper is to find out the fields in which the systems necessitate improvement and contribute to establish an ideal Bangla Handwritten Character Recognition System.
