چکیده

In this paper, we present recognition of handwritten characters of Arabic script. Arabic is now the 6 most spoken language in the world and is spoken by more than 200 million people worldwide. The 7 Century A.D., Arabic started to spread to the Middle East as many people started to convert to Islam. During this time of religious conversions, Arabic replaced many South Arabian languages, most of which are no longer commonly spoken or understood languages. The challenges in Arabic handwritten character recognition wholly lie in the variation and disfigurement of Arabic handwritten characters, since different Arabic people may use a different style of handwriting, and direction to draw the same shape of the characters of their known Arabic script. Though various new propensity and technologies come out in these days, still handwriting is playing an important role. To recognize Arabic handwritten data there are different strategies like Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP and Hidden Markov Models (HMM). In this paper, we are using Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP, which is an updated version of Predictive Adaptive Resonance Theory. It also has a capacity to adjust clusters, as per the requirements Arabic script, which is remunerative to mitigate noise. We have tested our method on Arabic scripts and we have obtained encouraging results from our proposed technique.

Holistic Farsi handwritten word recognition using gradient features

In this paper we address the issue of recognizing Farsi handwritten words. Two types of gradient features are extracted from a sliding vertical stripe which sweeps across a word image. These are directional and intensity gradient features. The feature vector extracted from each stripe is then coded using the Self Organizing Map (SOM). In this method each word is modeled using the discrete Hidde...

Recognising handwritten Arabic manuscripts using a single hidden Markov model

This paper presents a new method on off-line recognition of handwritten Arabic script. The method does not require segmentation into characters, and is applied to cursive Arabic script, where ligatures, overlaps and style variation pose challenges to the recognition system. The method trains a single hidden Markov model (HMM) with the structural features extracted from the manuscript words. The...

MAN-MACHINE INTERACTION SYSTEM FOR SUBJECT INDEPENDENT SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION USING FUZZY HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL

Sign language recognition has spawned more and more interest in human–computer interaction society. The major challenge that SLR recognition faces now is developing methods that will scale well with increasing vocabulary size with a limited set of training data for the signer independent application. The automatic SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is very sensitive to gesture's shape inf...
