Devanagari character recognition using structure analysis

A method of character recognition using prior knowledge of the script is proposed. Devanagari, a script widely used in India at present, and found in Buddhist texts of the past, is used for this purpose. This study is confined to recognizing a particular font used in a printed Buddhist text: Saddharmapundarika.<<ETX>>
