This paper investigates Farsi handwritten word recognition using common features. Also we applied biologically inspired features (BIFs), derived from a feed forward model of object recognition pathway in visual cortex for Farsi handwritten word recognition problem.

Tajiki Persian is a low-density language that uses the Cyrillic alphabet, while Iranian Pe...
