Abstract
This paper presents an approach for performance evaluation of hierarchical clustering character and recognition of handwritten characters. The approach uses as an efficient feature called Character Intensity Vector. A hierarchical recognition methodology based on the structural details of the character is adopted. At the first level similar structured characters are grouped together and the second level is used for individual character recognition. Gaussian Mixture Model and Support Vector Machine are used in first level and second level classifiers and evaluate the accuracy performance of the handwritten characters. Gaussian Mixture Model is used for classification which achieves an overall accuracy of character level 94.39% and Support Vector Machine which achieves an overall accuracy of character level 93.61% is achieved.
