Optical Character Recognition using modified Direction Feature and Nested Multi Layer Perceptrons Network

The studies of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) are being developed since it still needs a performance improvement. The previous study of alphanumeric character recognition had been conducted by Blumenstein and Liu using Modified Direction Feature (MDF) and Multi Layer Perceptrons (MLP) network. The study reaches the accuracy rate of 70.22% for lowercase characters and 80.83% for uppercase characters.
