Gurumukhi script is used for Punjabi language, which is a two dimensional composition of symbols with connected and disconnected diacritics. Handwritten Gurumukhi script has some complexities like connected, overlapped text lines, words and characters. It is one of the foremost issues for errors during the recognition process. Text segmentation is a challenging job in unconstrained writer independent handwritten document image processing. There is a huge need for research in the domain of Punjabi handwriting recognition to resolve these challenging problems. In this paper we have done a review on various methods for line, word and character segmentation in handwritten Punjabi document.
