A Novel Vector Quantization Approach to Arabic Character Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a novel approach to Arabic letter recognition is proposed. The system is based on the classified vector quantization (CVQ) technique employing the minimum distance classifier. To prove the robustness of the CVQ system, its performance is compared to that of a standard artificial neural network (ANN)-based solution. In the CVQ system, each input letter is mapped to its class using the minimum Euclidean distance. Simulation results are provided and show that the CVQ system always produces a lower Mean Squared Error (MSE) and higher success rates than the current ANN solutions.

Genetic-Neural Approach versus Classical Approach for Arabic Character Recognition Using Freeman Chain Features Extraction
This article presents a hybrid technique for the recognition of typed Arabic characters. Due to its curved and continuous nature, Arabic text has to go through words segmentation, character segmentation, feature extraction, and finally character recognition. In this work, Freeman Chain (FC) technique [20, 21] is used to generate a chain for every segmented character. This chain represents the e...
