In this paper we present an unsupervised segmentation-free method for spotting and searching query, especially, for images documents in handwritten Arabic, for this, Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOGs) are used as the ...

Abstract. Searching of old document images is a relevant issue today. In this paper, we tackle the problem of old Arabic document images retrieval which form a good part of our heritage and possess an inestimable scientific ...

In a character recognition systems, the segmentation phase is critical since the accuracy of the recognition depend strongly on it. In this paper we present an approach based on Markov Decision Processes to extract text ...

Inspired from human perception and common text documents characteristics based on readability constraints, an Arabic text line segmentation approach is proposed using seam carving. Taking the gray scale of the image as ...

A crucial task in character recognition systems is the segmentation of the document into text lines and especially if it is handwritten. When dealing with non-Latin document such as Arabic, the challenge becomes greater ...

This paper aims to give a presentation of the PhD defended by Boulid Youssef on December 26th, 2016 at University Ibn Tofail, entitled “Arabic handwritten recognition in an offline mode”. The adopted approach is realized ...

A good Arabic handwritten recognition system must consider the characteristics of Arabic letters which can be explicit such as the presence of diacritics or implicit such as the baseline information (a virtual line on which ...
