Abstract

Handwriting is character pattern recognition. Character pattern recognition is exciting to do research. In character pattern recognition, many types of characters can be recognized by computers and solved by various algorithms. Various kinds of pattern recognition have been successfully applied in multiple fields such as voice recognition, face detection, fingerprint recognition, and handwriting recognition. Handwriting recognition is divided into two types, namely online handwriting recognition and offline handwriting recognition. Online handwriting recognition requires special electronic equipment, and handwriting is captured on a pressure-sensitive tablet. Offline handwriting recognition does not need a particular machine because handwriting data is entered from previously written text such as images scanned by a scanner. Several methods have been developed to recognize handwriting with varying degrees of accuracy. This research uses the feature extraction of United Moment Invariant (UMI) and Self Organizing Maps (SOM). Based on the results of the software experiment for the entire test data set, the primary data yielded an accuracy rate of 88% for 50 images, and the first secondary data paid an accuracy rate of 98.2% for 500 images. However, for the second secondary data experiment with 50 test data, the accuracy rate is 90%. The third secondary data experiment was 500 test data. The accuracy rate was 89%. When viewed from the accuracy value, the primary data has a lower level of accuracy when compared to the two secondary data with different amounts. The story of accuracy resulting from experimenting with varying data sets proves that handwritten characters have a high and inconsistent level of variation. This is caused by the thickness and form of writing that is not consistent in each person and habits that affect the character of one's handwriting. Primary data is data that is taken directly and through a scanner process and still has a lot of noise in the handwritten image of numbers. At the same time, the secondary data has undergone a grey image process so that the handwritten image is clean from noise.
