Handwritten Tamil Character Recognition UsingDeep Learning

Character recognition is developed for various patterns of handwritten or optical characters to be recognized digitally. There are many Tamil literatures in undigitized form. Using deep learning the undigitized Tamil literatures can be converted into readable format. Many researches were carried on character recognition using deep learning for languages like Arabic, Devanagari, Telugu, etc… Due to the larger category set and confusion in similarities between handwritten characters Tamil character recognition is a challenge. In this paper, we propose a character recognition system for handwritten Tamil characters using deep learning. Here, VGG 16 approaches is carried out. The proposed work gives efficiency of 94.52% on our datasets.
