Online Arabic Handwriting Modeling System Based on the Graphemes Segmentation

摘要

We present in this paper a new approach of online Arabic handwriting modeling based on the graphemes segmentation. This segmentation rests on the previous detection of baseline. It involves the detection of two types of topologically meaningful points: the backs of the valleys adjoining the baseline and the angular points. The stage of features extraction allows to model the shapes of segmented graphemes by relevant geometric parameters and to estimate their diacritics fuzzy affectation rates. The test results show a significant improvement in recognition rate with the introduction of new pertinent parameters.
