ABSTRACT

Here the application is about Character Recognition.A character recognition system which works with the mechanism of the neural network, a neural network model for deformation-invariant visual charcater recognition. The system has been trained to recognize 26 handwritten capital alphanumeric characters. The ability to recognize deformed characters correctly depends strongly on the choice of the training pattern set. Some techniques for selecting training patterns useful for deformation-invariant recognition of a large number of characters are suggested. The system match the pattern of the drawn character into the database and if pattern is match then display appropriate character for that. We can also train the system for our character.

After initial discussions with the HR head and preliminary investigation, the requirement study of the project was done. A pre-requirement of investigation was prepared which revealed the exact amount of efforts required in people-person months, the cost that would be incurred, the risks and the mitigating factors. Different parameters were taken into consideration while considering the cost factor incurred in the project: Consultancy cost: This cost is based on the staffing of the project and its location. Hardware cost: This cost is based on the cost incurred on the hardware utilized per person month like computer, tapes etc. Software cost: This cost includes the cost incurred on the licensing of tools and software used in the project e.g. Net Beans etc. Systems analysis & requirements definition After doing a preliminary investigation the following functional and non-functional requirements were found and a SRS (System Requirements Specification) was prepared. Based on the SRS we decided to follow the Evolutionary prototyping model for our system development. A software process model is a simplified description/abstract representation of a software process which is presented from a particular perspective. A process model for software engineering is chosen based on the nature of the project and application, the methods and tools to be used, and the controls and deliverables that are required. All software development can be characterized as a problem solving loop in which four distinct stages are encountered: y y y y Status quo Problem definition Technical development Solution integration     Status Quo represents the current state of affairs. Problem Definition identifies the specific problem to be solved. Technical Development solves the problem through the application of some technology. Solution Integration delivers the results (e.g. documents, programs, data, and new product) to those who requested the solution in the first place.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENT STUDY

3.1 PROBLEMS AND WEAKNESS CURRENT SYSTEM

y y y y y

Current system are not much user friendly. Current system doesnt provide good user interface. Current system take considerable amount of time in giving response to user. Current system recognize only capital letters. Current System recognize only character which are draw in well manner.

3.2 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT

Minimum configuration for our system is as below:

3.2.1 Hardware Requirement y y y Pentium III or IV 256 MB of RAM System must be jar support

3.2.2 Software Requirement y y Operating System: Windows 2000/XP/Windows 7 Net Beans IDE 6.9

The organization have enough license to meet the software requirement of Net Beans and other tools required to develop the application. So no additional hardware or software is required.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENT STUDY

3.4 CONSTRINTS
3.4.1 Hardware Limitations y Here users who want to process should have system with JAR files support.

3.4.2 Higher Order Language Requirements

Here I am using J2SE as a front end.

3.4.3 Safety and Security Consideration

For safety user each time need to be authenticated if they are not paired.

Each time controller is asked if it wants to allow data to be transferred.
