Abstract

Bangla is one of the most popular script from eastern part of India with a demographic distribution of 212 million of population, used in languages like Bengali, Assamese, Manipuri etc. There are several works reported in literature considering Bangla script in the areas of Bangla OCR, postal automation, writer verification, online document analysis, script identification etc. They need more attention from the researchers as almost all of the mentioned topics are yet far from getting maturity. In this paper, a study on the advancement of those techniques with emphasis on Bangla script is presented. Also, some future directions in this field will be discussed.
