This paper presents a method for detecting the connecting points in connected Thai printed characters. In Thai Optical Character Recognition systems, an important problem that decreases the accuracy is the connected characters. These characters could cause the errors in segmentation process. To attack this problem, we first extract the features of the connecting points in the character images. Then, we employ Inductive Logic Programming to produce the rules that will be used to classify the unseen images. Finally, we use a Backpropagation Neural Network to make these rules more flexible. The experimental results show that our method achieves 94.94% accuracy.
