The Impact of Data Augmentation Techniques on the Recognition of Script Images in Deep Learning Models

Abstract

Deep learning technology is widely used for recognizing character images, including various regional characters and diverse ancient scripts. Deep learning models require large data sets to recognize images accurately. However, creating a dataset has limitations in terms of quantity, including the Komering script dataset used in this study. Data augmentation techniques can be applied to expand the dataset by modifying existing images to increase data diversity. This study aims to investigate the impact of augmentation techniques on the performance of deep learning models in the case of Komering script recognition. The dataset consists of 500 images for five classes of Komering script characters. Three augmentation techniques, namely random rotation, height shift, and width shift, were applied to the five characters, which were then used to test the model trained to recognize characters in the Komering dataset. This research contributes to providing insights into the effect of augmentation techniques on robust confidence prediction of deep learning models for recognizing newly augmented data. The results demonstrate that the deep learning model can recognize modified data using augmentation techniques with an average accuracy of 80.05%.
