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\N### Attribute Information \NThe attributes represent 64 descriptors from the Karhunen-Loeve Transform, a linear transform that corresponds to the projection of the images on the eigenvectors of a covariant matrix.
