The initial candidates for recognition are found by applying by zoning method on input glyphs. We propose cavities as a structural approach suited specifically for Telugu script, where cavity vectors are used to prune the candidates by zoning. It gives the 100% features and cavity features of the input dataset %K Telugu is one of the prominent scripts in India and Asia %K with more than 62 million speakers %U http://www.ijcttjournal.org/volume-2/issue-1/IJCTT-V2I1P111.pdf
