Recognition of handwritten Arabic text awaits accurate recognition solutions. There are many difficulties facing a good handwritten Arabic recognition system such as unlimited variation in human handwriting, similarities of distinct character shapes, and their position in the word. The typical Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems are based mainly on three stages, preprocessing, features ...
متن کاملOff-line Arabic Handwritten Isolated Character Recognition using Hidden Markov Models
This paper presents a recognition system for Arabic handwritten isolated characters. The recognition system is based on hidden Markov model (HMM). The entire system is capable of recognizing the Arabic handwritten characters. First, the system removes all the variation in the character images. Second, Features are extracted using the sliding window technique with HMM. Then, the HMM is used for ...
