Abstract
Abstract: The research on offline handwritten Arabic character recognition has received more and more attention in recent years, because of the increasing needs of Arabic document digitization. The variation in Arabic handwriting brings great difficulty in character segmentation and recognition, eg., the sub-parts (diacritics) of the Arabic character may shift away from the main part. In this paper, a new probabilistic segmentation model is proposed. First, a contour-based over-segmentation method is conducted, cutting the word image into graphemes. The graphemes are sorted into 3 queues, which are character main parts, sub-parts (diacritics) above or below main parts respectively. The confidence for each character is calculated by the probabilistic model, taking into account both of the recognizer output and the geometric confidence besides with logical constraint. Then, the global optimization is conducted to find optimal cutting path, taking weighted average of character confidences as objective function. Experiments on handwritten Arabic documents with various writing styles show the proposed method is effective.
