Identifying the Character by Applying PCA Method using Matlab

Optical character recognition is getting more and more useful in daily life for various purposes. The aim of the paper is to find the number and English alphabets in the symbol of times new roman, arial, arial block size of 72, 48.Many researches have been done on many types of characters by using different approaches. In this recognition system was implemented by using of principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm. This algorithm is based on an Eigen value and Euclidean distance. PCA is practical and standard statistical tool in modern data analysis that has found application in different areas such as face recognition, image compression, and neuroscience.
