The invention relates to a handwritten
character recognition method. The method comprises steps: a, handwritten input data are normalized, a neuronal number is defined, an automatic
encoder model is built, and weight and bias are initialized; b, through compressing a perceptual model,
data compression and sampling are carried out; c, obtained data are automatically encoded and decoded, handwritten input data are rebuilt, and errors between the rebuilt data and original handwritten input data are minimized; d, the built models are stacked layer by layer to form an n-layer
neuron feature depth learning model, depth
feature learning is carried out on the n-layer
neuron traversal, wherein n is a natural number; and e, the recognized handwritten character is outputted. Through simulating features of sensing objects by
human brain visual neurons, compression
perception and depth learning are combined, detailed features representing handwritten characters are dug automatically, the representation ability of the handwritten character and the
model learning efficiency are effectively improved, and the recognition precision and the recognition efficiency of a handwritten character, especially a handwritten number, are greatly improved.
