A P2p Grid Architecture for Distributed Arabic Ocr Based on the Dtw Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arabic cursive optical character recognition (OCR) based on the dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm provides simultaneously very interesting segmentation and recognition rates. However, the computing complexity of the DTW algorithm restricts its widespread utilization and its consideration at a commercial scale. Accelerating the DTW execution time has attracted many researchers and several solutions have already been proposed. These solutions are commonly based on very specialized processors and hardware architectures and as such they remain very expensive and not amenable to a large

Arabic Cursive Characters Distributed Recognition using the DTW Algorithm on BOINC
Volunteer computing or volunteer grid computing constitute a very promising infrastructure which provides enough computing and storage powers without any prior cost or investment. Indeed, such infrastructures are the result of the federation of several, geographically dispersed, computers or/and LAN computers over the Internet. Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is consi...
متن کاملDynamic Time Warping Algorithm with Distributed Systems
Distributed computing is the method of splitting a large problem into smaller pieces and allocating the workload among many computers. These individual computers process their portions of the problem, and the results are combined together to form a solution for the original problem. At present, Distributed computing systems can be broadly classified into two methods, namely Grid computing and V...

Large scale optical character recognition (OCR) refers to or means the computerization of large amounts of documents such as news papers. Despite the diversity of commercial OCR products, this task still remains too far from the mature especially if the input documents are insufficient quality or cursive writing such as the Arabic documents (Vinciarelli, 2002). Indeed, in their project (Holley,...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of the distributed Arabic cursive characters recognition using the DTW algorithm on the SRTG
Arabic printed cursive characters Recognition using the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm provides very interesting results. Unfortunately, the big amount of computing to be achieved by this algorithm during the recognition process makes its execution time very slow. Grid computing presents a very interesting infrastructure that allow to support distributed applications in one hand and to ta...
