OFF-LINE HANDWRITTEN DEVANAGARI NUMERAL DATABASE

 

 

Devnagari descended from the Brahmi script sometime around the 11th century AD. Its original form was developed to write Sanksrit but was later adapted to write many other languages such as Hindi, Marathi and Nepali. Our database of isolated handwritten Devnagari numerals consists of 22556 samples from 1049 persons. This database was formed from 368 mail pieces, 274 job application forms and for the rest we used a specially designed form for the present purpose.
