Abstract
In this paper, we have proposed a line segmentation algorithm for Devanagari ancient documents by dividing the document image into vertical stripes and followed by piecewise horizontal projection profiles. Average line height is computed, and based on this height, under-segmentation or over-segmentation of lines is detected for ancient manuscripts recognition. For experimental work of line segmentation algorithm, Devanagari ancient manuscripts are collected from various libraries and museums. To digitize these images, scanner and digital camera are used. The proposed line segmentation algorithm is tested on 1500 text lines. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work of its kind for line segmentation on Devanagari ancient manuscripts. The proposed algorithm can be used for other Indian scripts also.
