Abstract: With handwritten digit recognition being an established and significant problem that is facing computer vision and pattern recognition, there has been a great deal of research work that has been undertaken in this area. It is not a trivial task because of the big variation that exists in the writing styles that have been found in the available data. Therefore both, the features and the classifier need to be efficient. The core contribution of this research is the development of a new classification technique that is based on the MLP, which can be identified in handwritten documents as the binary digits ‘0’ and ‘1’. This technique maps the different sets of various input data onto the MLP output neurons. An experimental evaluation of the technique’s performance is provided. This evaluation is based on the well-known ‘Pen-Based Recognition of Handwritten Digits’ dataset, which is comprised of a total of 250 handwriting samples that are taken from 44 writers. The results obtained are very promising for such an approach in accurate handwriting recognition.

Keywords: Handwritten digit recognition; Pattern classification; Neural network mode; Two-class classification; Accuracy; Binary data
