Abstract

Handwritten digit recognition is a fundamental problem in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition. This paper presents a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approach for recognizing handwritten Bangla digits. The proposed method utilizes a dataset of handwritten Bangla digit images and trains a CNN model to classify these digits accurately. The dataset is preprocessed to enhance the quality of the images and make them suitable for training the CNN model. The trained model is then tested on a separate test dataset to evaluate its performance in terms of accuracy. With the Ekush: Bangla Handwritten Data - Numerals dataset, we tested our CNN implementation to determine the precision of handwritten characters. According to the test results, 25% of the images using a training set of more than 150,000 images from Ekush dataset had an accuracy of 98.3%.
