Abstract

In this paper we present a system towards the segmentation of Hindi Handwritten Devnagari Text. Segmentation of script is essential for handwritten script recognition. This system deals with segmentation of modifiers (matras) and fused characters in handwritten Devnagari word. Also describe carries out segmentation in hierarchical order .First the header line is identified and segmented. Segmentation of modifiers consists of segmentation of top as well as bottom modifiers. In the last step the fused characters are also a segmented.
