Abstract
This paper presents a system for off-line handwritten numeral recognition based on topological properties of the digits. The first step in recognition algorithm is graph evaluation, obtained from the RLC of the digit, the second is measuring the geometrical properties of the elements of the graph and classification based on that measures. Algorithm was trained and tested on CEDAR database and it achieved correct recognition rate of 99,74%.
