Boise State Bangla Handwriting Dataset

Update Note 09/05/2019: In this release we have 150 pages of handwritten essays and 250 pages of handwritten isolated character documents. Each of these have been acquired both by a handheld cell-phone camera and by a desktop scanner. The same document appears in both the camera and scanned dataset with the same names.Update Note 02/25/2020: In this release a folder named Conjunct has been added. This folder has 70 pages containing words with the most used conjuncts in Bangla. These are all scanned at 300 dpi. We also added 100 more essay images in the previous dataset, both in cell-phone camera and scanner acquired versions with the ground truth metadata.Due to the size of this dataset's component files, if you would prefer to access this data via Globus, please email [email protected].
