📚 Thamizhi Letter Dataset

🔄 Overview

The Thamizhi Letter Dataset is a labor of love ❤️ dedicated to preserving and recognizing one of the most ancient scripts. It contains beautifully crafted images 🎨 of Thamizhi script characters mapped to their corresponding Tamil letters. Whether you are a researcher, developer, or history enthusiast, this dataset is here to fuel your passion for character recognition, OCR tasks, and historical script analysis.

📂 Dataset Structure

The dataset is carefully structured to ensure ease of use and accessibility.

📅 Option 1: Folder-based structure (for classification models)

Thamizhi_Dataset/ │── அ/ │ ├── image.png │── ஆ/ │ ├── image.png │── இ/ │ ├── image.png │── ...

Each folder represents a Tamil letter, and inside it, there's the corresponding Thamizhi letter image, making it intuitive and simple to navigate. 🎨🔬

📅 Option 2: JSON-based format (for direct Thamizhi → Tamil mapping)

Thamizhi_Dataset/ │── images/ │ ├── அ.png │ ├── ஆ.png │ ├── இ.png │ ├── ... │── metadata.json

Example metadata.json file:

[ {"image": "அ.png", "label": "அ"}, {"image": "ஆ.png", "label": "ஆ"}, {"image": "இ.png", "label": "இ"} ]
