Abstract

The Gilgit manuscripts belong to fifth century A.D. and are oeuvre of texts which deal with Buddhist work. It is one of the oldest manuscripts in the world and is considered to be a milestone in the history of Buddhist works in India. It is a collection of both official and unofficial Buddhist works which are believed to have helped in the evolution of many literatures including Chinese, Japanese, and Sanskrit. Since this manuscript is almost seventeen centuries old it has not been able to fully decipher the text yet. It has been laminated by the National Archives of India which proves it is one of the most important literatures concerning India. In this paper, we perform character-based image segmentation on Gilgit manuscript in order to simplify and to better identify character in the image of the manuscript. The employed method gives an accuracy of nearly 87 %.
