OFF-LINE HANDWRITTEN BANGLA NUMERAL DATABASE

Bangla is also derived from the Brahmi script and it started to diverge from the Devnagari script during the 11th Century AD. This script is also used to write a few other languages such as Assamese, Manipuri etc. The present database of handwritten isolated Bangla numerals consists of 23392 samples written by 1106 persons. These samples had been collected from 465 mail pieces and 268 job application forms and for the rest, we used a specially designed form.
