Abstract: Palm leaves were used as a medium of recording information about 700 years ago. This work deals with the recognition of Telugu palm leaf characters by acquiring 3D data using a contact-type profiler. A novel concept of using a 3D inherent feature, i.e. depth of incision is proposed to eliminate noise. With the help of this 3D feature, improved recognition accuracy is also reported for various features extracted from the palm leaf characters. Experiments are conducted by implementing optimisation techniques, such as differential evolution and particle swarm optimisation, to find the optimum number of features to reduce the memory needed. With varying feature dimensions, average classification accuracies are reported for combination of feature extraction methods and optimisation techniques.
