HAND-DRAWN SAMPLE IMAGES OF ENGLISH CHARACTERS

The zip file contains hand drawn images of English characters A-Z. There are 650 images in total with 25 images for each character. I used this set for extracting feature vectors using which I trained a neural network for character recognition. All the files are in bitmap format and are named in a suitable fashion so that it can indexed from inside a Matlab program. I used this in conjunction with my feature extraction program here

Hope it helps in someway!!
