Abstract:
Developing new algorithms or findings related to any language requires a rich dataset. In
Bangla language, most of the datasets are consist of 50 basic characters and a few compound
characters. Though many researchers have worked on Bangla printed and handwritten
characters but still, the dataset of most compound characters (handwritten) is not done yet. In
this paper, a dataset of 76 handwritten compound characters and 3 modifiers are preprocessed. All those characters are unique and absent in other datasets of Bangla characters.
The dataset is available publicly at [https://bit.ly/2PBEIrj].
