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...

Using Heuristics Based Approach for Segmentation and Recognition of Printed Arabic Characters

In this study, we propose a flexible template-matching algorithm for word segmentation, and structural analysis of features extraction is used for character recognition in the printed Arabic text. The input text image is preprocessed by the binarization and then by morphological operations. A vector quantization of the thinned image (VQTM) is created based on the idea of a freeman chain code tr...
