The common issues in the character recognition are often due to different writing styles, orientation angle, size variation(regarding length and height), etc. This study presents a classification model using a hybrid classifier for the character recognition by combining holoentropy enabled decision tree(HDT) and deep neural network(DNN). In feature extraction, the local gradient features that include histogram oriented gabor feature and grid level feature, and grey level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM) features are extracted. Then, the extracted features are concatenated to encode shape, color, texture, local and statistical information, for the recognition of characters in the image by applying the extracted features to the hybrid classifier. In the experimental analysis, recognition accuracy of 96% is achieved. Thus, it can be suggested that the proposed model intends to provide more accurate character recognition rate compared to that of character recognition techniques used in the literature.展开更多
