Abstract
This paper describes a new feature extraction method which can be used very effectively in combination with Cluster K-Nearest Neighbor (CKNN) and KNN Classifier for image recognition. We propose handwritten English character recognition using Fermat's spiral approach to convert an image space into a parameter space. The system is implemented and simulated in MATLAB, and its performance is tested on real alphabet handwriting image. Fifteen (15) alphabet classes were created to carry out the experiment. Each class contains 9 alphabets {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i}. The total of 15x9=135 alphabet images are captured under fixed camera position and controlled energy light intensity. The experimental results give a better recognition rate, 76.19% for KNN and 95.16% for C-KNN with reducing the overall data size of the transformed image. The relationship between the accuracy and k is investigated. It seems that when k goes from 1 to 9, the accuracy decreases linearly. The result of this investigation is a high performance character recognition system with significantly improved recognition rates and real-time.
