Features Extraction Method for Arabic Characters Based on Pixel Orientation Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a features extraction module for isolated handwritten Arabic characters. The collected core features are based on pixels orientations according to Freeman chain code. The input to this module is Arabic character (in its basic-shapes i.e. without diacritics). The features extractor module, fed with a skeleton of an isolated character basic-shape, yields global and local features. Feature vector of 12 elements are used. Two features are global while the remaining 10 elements are locals. Neural network classifier is used for aggregating the features for classification decision making. Key-Words: Features extraction, Arabic handwritten recognition, Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Image Stitching of the Computed Radiology images Using a Pixel-Based Approach
In this paper, a method for automatic stitching of radiology images based on pixel features has been presented. In this method, according to the smooth texture of radiological images and in order to increase the number of the extracted features after quality enhancement of initial radiology images, 45 degree isotropic mask is applied to each radiology image to observe the image details. After t...
متن کاملA Run-Length Coding Based Approach to Stroke Extraction of Chinese Characters
Traditional stroke extraction approach usually adopts thinning technique as the preprocessing method in obtaining the skeletons of Chinese characters. However, thinning may produce spurious branches and multiple fork points at junctions. Such distortion will make stroke extraction process more complicate and unreliable. This paper proposes a novel run-length-based stroke extraction approach wit...
متن کاملThinning Arabic Characters for Feature Extraction
A successful approach to the recognition of Latin characters is to extract features from that character such as the number of strokes, stroke intersections and holes, and to use ad-hoc tests to differentiate between characters which have similar features. The first stage in this process is to produce thinned 1 pixel thick representations of the characters to simplify feature extraction. This ap...

متن کاملIsolated Persian/Arabic handwriting characters: Derivative projection profile features, implemented on GPUs
For many years, researchers have studied high accuracy methods for recognizing the handwriting and achieved many significant improvements. However, an issue that has rarely been studied is the speed of these methods. Considering the computer hardware limitations, it is necessary for these methods to run in high speed. One of the methods to increase the processing speed is to use the computer pa...
