An OCR system for the Meetei Mayek script

Abstract

This paper presents an implementation of an OCR system for the Meetei Mayek script. The script has been newly reintroduced and there is a growing set of documents currently available in this script. Our system accepts an image of the textual portion of a page and outputs the text in the Unicode format. It incorporates preprocessing, segmentation and classification stages. However, no post-processing is done to the output. The system achieves an accuracy of about 96% on a moderate database.
