The paper concentrates on improvement of segmentation accuracy by addressing some of the key challenges of handwritten Devanagari word image segmentation technique. In the present work, we have developed a new feature based approach for identification of Matra pixels from a word image, design of a non-linear fuzzy membership functions for headline estimation and finally design of a non-linear fuzzy functions for identifying segmentation points on the Matra. The segmentation accuracy achieved by the current technique is 94.8 shows an improvement of performance by 1.8 a 300-word dataset, used for the current experiment.
