Abstract

Homomorphic transforms are better suited for pattern recognition or classification. In general, homomorphic maps are not invertible and hence they are known as transformations. So, they do not fall under the category of mathematical transforms. But if the inverse of a transformation is obtained using an algorithm or a semi-decision procedure the transformation could be called a transform in the loose sense. Nonlinear homomorphic operators are not meant for analysis and synthesis, but they are used for classification. In this context, efforts were made to search for a homomorphic map which could be examined for character recognition. One such nonlinear homomorphic map has been identified as Rajan Transform. This paper provides details of this transform and its working principle in recognition of handwritten characters.
