There are some printed artistic documents where text lines may be curved in shape. As a result, characters of a single line may be multi-oriented. To handle such artistic documents, in this paper, we present a scheme towards the recognition of multi-oriented and multi-sized English characters. The features used here are invariant to character orientation and computed based on the angular information of the border points of the characters. We used modified quadratic discriminant function (MQDF) for recognition. We tested our proposed scheme on a dataset of 18232 characters and obtained 98.34% accuracy from the system.
