Abstract

In this paper, we design a recognition system of the handwritten numerals and English characters based on BP neural network. In the system, we first make some preprocess to the image. Secondly, we extract the structural and statistical features of the image. Thirdly, we train a model on the data sets via BP neural network. Finally, we can predict the test image using the trained model. The experiments show that the handwritten numbers recognition rate can reach more than 94 % and the handwritten English characters is 44 % respectively. Besides that, the recognition rate of Handwritten number and English together is 78 %. It has been proved that our method is effective and robust.
