Abstract
This paper describes on the use of Support Vector Machine (SVM) based classification method on Printed Character-set Recognition (PCR) in bitmap document. language has been identified as one of the most complex language with the total of 74 alphabets and the wording compound can has up to 5 vertical levels. This paper proposes one new method, SVM for character classification system by using 3 different SVM kernels (Gaussian, Polynomial and Linear Kernel) on data training and recognition to find out the best kernel for language. The method allows us to use small training dataset by training different pieces of character training instead of training big amount of clusters. The classification uses binary data of 0 as white space and 1 as black pixel area of the character; each training piece of character has been stretched into a matrix of the binary data in all kinds of image size. Feature extraction is extracted from the matrix to use in SVM classification. After recognition, there are some rules to combine each cluster or character by using character levels or common mistake correction. The experiment of about pure 750 words or around 3000 characters show that SVM method with Gaussian Kernel produces a good result with better performance among all kernels. The system uses one font Khmer OS Content of the training data with font size 32pt to recognize 3 different font sizes. The accuracy of 28pt font size is 98.17%, 32pt is 98.62% and 36pt is 98.54% respectively.
