Segmentation of touching characters in upper zone in printed Gurmukhi script

A new technique for segmenting touching characters in upper zone of printed Gurmukhi script has been presented in this paper. The technique is based on the structural properties of the Gurmukhi script characters. Concavity and convexity of the characters has been studied and using top profile projections, the touching characters in upper zone have been segmented. Recognition rate of 91% has been achieved for segmenting the touching characters in upper zone. Keywords Touching characters, upper zone, projection profiles, Gurmukhi script.
