Data Set Information:

This dataset consists of features of handwritten numerals (`0'--`9') extracted from a collection of Dutch utility maps. 200 patterns per class (for a total of 2,000 patterns) have been digitized in binary images. These digits are represented in terms of the following six feature sets (files):

1. mfeat-fou: 76 Fourier coefficients of the character shapes;
2. mfeat-fac: 216 profile correlations;
3. mfeat-kar: 64 Karhunen-Love coefficients;
4. mfeat-pix: 240 pixel averages in 2 x 3 windows;
5. mfeat-zer: 47 Zernike moments;
6. mfeat-mor: 6 morphological features.

In each file the 2000 patterns are stored in ASCI on 2000 lines. The first 200 patterns are of class `0', followed by sets of 200 patterns for each of the classes `1' - `9'. Corresponding patterns in different feature sets (files) correspond to the same original character.

The source image dataset is lost. Using the pixel-dataset (mfeat-pix) sampled versions of the original images may be obtained (15 x 16 pixels).
