The proposed system extracts Invariant moments feature from zoned images. A Euclidiandistance criterion and K-NN classifier is used to classify the handwritten Kannada vowels. A total 1625image are considered for experimentation and overall accuracy found to be 85.53%. The novelty of theproposed method is independent of size, slant, orientation, and translation in handwritten characters. %K OCR %K Indian Language %K Kannada Vowels %K Moment invariants %U http://www.bioinfo.in/uploadfiles/12615757151_2_10_ACR.pdf
