| Isolated Handwritten Tamil Character Dataset hpl-tamil-iso-char |

Description
The dataset contains approximately 500 isolated samples each of
156 Tamil “characters” (details)
written by native Tamil writers including school children, university
graduates, and adults from the cities of Bangalore, Karnataka, India
and Salem, Tamil Nadu, India. The data was collected using HP TabletPCs
and is in standard UNIPEN format.
An offline version of the data is also available in the form of
bi-level TIFF images, generated from the online data using simple
piecewise linear interpolation with a constant thickening factor
applied.
The data is available only for research use. Subsets of this dataset
were used for the IWFHR 2006 Tamil Character Recognition Competition.
