| Description (include details on usage, files and paper references) | The Chars74K dataset consists of 64 classes (0-9, A-Z, a-z), 7705 characters obtained from natural images, 3410 hand drawn characters using a tablet PC, 62992 synthesised characters from computer fonts. This gives a total of over 74K images (which explains the name of the dataset).
In the English language, Latin script (excluding accents) and Hindu-Arabic numerals are used. For simplicity we call this the English characters set.
