Abstract:

A novel set of affine invariant features and an accompanying neural network are described for performing two-dimensional pattern recognition. The features are described and shown to be affine invariant. The validity of the approach and the need for a neural network are demonstrated by applying the features and the network model to handwritten character recognition.
