Abstract

This paper presents an intelligent character recognition system based on utilising a back propagation neural network model. The characters in question are unique and rare to be addressed in such applications. These are the ancient Persian Cuneiform alphanumerical characters. The recognition system comprises firstly, image processing phase where clear and noisy or degraded images of the ancient script are prepared for processing by the neural model in the second phase. The importance of such application lies in its potential to make translating ancient scripts and language easier, faster and more efficient. Experimental results indicate that our proposed method can be further applied successfully to other ancient languages and may be utilised in museums and similar environments.
