A Comprehensive Study on Character Segmentation

In identifying the characters from a given image, character segmentation plays an important role. In a given line of text, first, we have to segment the words. Then, in each word there will be a character-by-character segmentation. There have been some rapid developments in this area. Many algorithms have been implemented to increase the accuracy range and decrease the word error rate. This paper aims to provide a review of some of the developments that have happened in this domain.
