Abstract
Handwritten character recognition a field of research in AI, computer vision, and pattern recognition. Devanagari handwritten Marathi compound character recognition is most tedious tasks because of its complexity as compared to other languages. As compound character is combination of two or more characters it becomes challenging task to recognize it. However, the researchers used various methods like Neural Network, SVM, KNN, Wavelet transformation to classify the features of compound Marathi characters and tried to give the accuracy in the recognition of it. But the problem of feature extraction, and time required is large. In this paper I am proposing the Offline handwritten Marathi compound character recognition using deep convolution neural network which reduces the computational time and increases the accuracy.
