ABSTRACT
The development of an OCR system for recognition of old Gurmukhi handwritten manuscripts is a complex task involving many difficulties. Historical documents are affected by problems of ageing and repeated use and many other uncontrollable factors. Segmentation is one of the important phase of an OCR, as accuracy of an OCR depends upon the accuracy of segmentation. The writing styles of historical documents make the activity of segmentation extremely difficult. Segmentation includes line, word and character segmentation. In this paper, we have discussed a method for segmenting lines for Gurmukhi handwritten manuscripts.
