Abstract
The recognition by computer of handwritten characters has been the subject of discussion for many years, because of being increasing its importance. In this paper, we propose the simple character recognition system of free handwritten characeters. This system is given by a structure analytic techique, and we used end points, corner points, 3 fork points, and crossing points as its features. As the result of the recognition experiments using 7800 characters, we have obtained a recognition rate of 85.4 [%].
