Abstract

The study and analysis of epigraphy is important for knowing about the past. From around third century to modern times, about 90,000 inscriptions have been discovered from different parts of India.

This chapter is based on the conference papers published in proceedings of NCC 2013 (IEEE explore) and ICVGIP 2014 (ACM digital library).
