Abstract
We describe an optical disk based system for the recognition of handwritten numerals. The recognition scheme is based on a K nearest neighbor strategy using a template library of 650 exemplars. The optical system compares an unknown input against the template library at a demonstrated rate of 26,000 comparisons/sec.
