The maps were scanned in 8 bit grey value at density of 400dpi, scanned, sharpened, and thresholded. Corresponding patterns in different datasets correspond to the same original character. 200 instances per class (for a total of 2,000 instances) have been digitized in binary images. \N\NUsing this dataset, sampled versions of the original images may be obtained (15 x 16 pixels). \N\N### Attribute Information \NThe mfeatures represent 240 (15 x 16) pixel averages in 2 x 3 windows. \N\N### Relevant Papers \NA slightly different version of the database is used in \NM. van Breukelen, R.P.W.
