Separation of Overlapping and Touching Lines within Handwritten Arabic Documents
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an approach for the separation of overlapping and touching lines within handwritten Arabic documents. Our approach is based on the morphology analysis of the terminal letters of Arabic words. Starting from 4 categories of possible endings, we use the angular variance to follow the connection and separate the endings. The proposed separation scheme has been evaluated on 100 documents contains 640 overlapping and touching occurrences reaching an accuracy of about 96.88%.

Separation of touching and overlapping words in adjacent lines of handwritten text
This paper reports on a novel technique for the separation of characters and words that are connected through touching or overlapping of characters between adjacent lines of text. The technique employs structural knowledge of handwriting styles where overlap is most frequently observed. The method is shown to work well in the most usual cases and resolve many of the more difficult cases observe...
متن کاملA new scheme for unconstrained handwritten text-line segmentation
Variations in inter-line gaps and skewed or curled text-lines are some of the challenging issues in segmentation of handwritten text-lines. Moreover, overlapping and touching text-lines that frequently appear in unconstrained handwritten text documents significantly increase segmentation complexities. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for unconstrained handwritten text-line segmentatio...
متن کاملSegmentation of Touching, Overlapping, Skewed and Short Handwritten Text Lines
Text line segmentation is an inherent part of document recognition system and important preprocessing step for word and character segmentation. Presence of touching or overlapping text lines, short-lines, curvilinear or skewed lines and small or variant gaps between the text lines make the segmentation challenging. These variations cause errors in recognition phase. This paper describes the top...

متن کاملPerformance of Statistics Based Line Segmentation System for Unconstrained Handwritten Text
Handwritten character recognition is a technique by which a computer system could recognize characters and other symbols written in natural handwriting. Segmentation decomposes the document image into subcomponents like lines, words and characters. To achieve greater accuracy, segmentation and recognition could not be treated independently. Most of the existing line segmentation methods have li...
