A lot of research have been carried in the field of optical character recognition. Selection of a feature extraction scheme is probably the most important factor in achieving high recognition performance. Fourier and wavelet transforms are among the popular feature extraction techniques allowing rotation invariant recognition. The performance of a particular feature extraction technique depends on the used dataset and the classifier. Di erent feature types may need di erent types of classifiers. In this thesis Fourier and wavelet based features are compared in terms of classification accuracy. The influence of noise with di erent intensities is also analyzed. Character recognition system is implemented with Matlab. Isolated gray scale character image first transformed into one dimensional function. Then, set of features are extracted. The feature set are fed to a classifier. Two types of classifier were used, Nearest Neighbor and Linear Discriminant Function. The performance of each feature extraction and classification methods were tested on various rotated and scaled character images.
