Abstract-
This paper presents an algorithm for segmentationof touching Devanagari characters (also referredto as conjuncts) into its constituent symbolsand characters. Proposed algorithm extensively usesstructural properties of the script. Statistical informationabout the height and width of characterboxes, which are vertically separate from their neighbours,is used to hypothesize character boxes to betouching character boxes. The recognition rate of85% has been achieved on the segmented touchingcharacters.
