Abstract

Traditionally, Thai characters are composed of circle, zigzag line, curve, and head. However, many new Thai fonts, which are now gaining in popularity, do not follow the traditional writing rule; the head has been omitted from the characters. Without the head, it is very difficult to segregate the characters. Even the best commercial Thai OCR software has difficulty in recognizing this kind of character. Therefore, the hierarchical cross-correlation ARTMAP is proposed in this paper to recognize the no-head Thai characters. © 2005 IEEE.
