A pioneer developer of Optical Character Recognition   (OCR)   System for Bangla and Devnagri script.

Welcome to CVPR Unit

The CVPR unit is proud of a pioneering development of an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system for the combined script recognition of Bangla and Devnagari (Hindi), the most popular scripts of the Indian sub-continent. The system performs document tilt correction, script line, word and character segmentation, character recognition and finally, error correction. Its performance has been found to be about 98%. Work on Oriya OCR and OCR for Bangla hand-written character recognition is in progress.
