Arabic Font Recognition Based on Templates
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an algorithm for a priori Arabic optical Font Recognition (AFR). First, words in the training set of documents for each font are segmented into symbols that are rescaled. Next, templates are constructed, where every new training symbol that is not similar to existing templates is a new template. Templates are sharable between fonts. To classify the font of a word, its symbols are matched to the templates and the fonts of the best matching templates are retained. The most frequent font is the word font.

Arabic font recognition based on diacritics features
Many methods have been proposed for Arabic font recognition, but none of them has considered the specialty of the Arabic writing system. Most of these methods are either general pattern recognition approaches or application of other methods which have been developed for languages other than Arabic. Therefore, this paper is the first attempt to present an alternative method for Arabic font recog...
متن کاملMulti-Font Arabic Word Recognition Using Spectral Features
In this paper we present a new technique for recognising Arabic cursive words from scanned images of text. The approach is segmentation-free, and is applied to four different Arabic typefaces, where ligatures and overlaps pose challenges to segmentation-based methods. We transform each word into a normalised polar image, then we apply a two dimensional Fourier transform to the polar image. The ...
متن کاملA study on font-family and font-size recognition applied to Arabic word images at ultra-low resolution
In this paper, we propose a new font and size identification method for ultra-low resolution Arabic word images using a stochastic approach. The literature has proved the difficulty for Arabic text recognition systems to treat multi-font and multi-size word images. This is due to the variability induced by some font family, in addition to the inherent difficulties of Arabic writing including cu...
متن کاملResolving Conflicts in Arabic and Latin Character Recognition
In applications where the size, orientation and position of characters relative to each other is variable, the recognition of each isolated character requires an approach which can deal with these problems. This paper reports on the latest stage in the development of a multi-stage algorithm for character recognition in unconstrained environments. It has been applied to both Latin and Arab scrip...
متن کاملOpen-vocabulary recognition of machine-printed Arabic text using hidden Markov models
In this paper, we present multi-font printed Arabic text recognition using hidden Markov models (HMMs). We propose a novel approach to the sliding window technique for feature extraction. The size and position of the cells of the sliding window adapt to the writing line of Arabic text and ink-pixel distributions. We employ a two-step approach for mixed-font text recognition, in which the input ...
