| dc.description.abstract | The main theme of this research is the off-line handwritten Arabic characters segmentation. A successful handwritten Arabic character recognition system improves interactivity between the human and the computers. Building successful Arabic character recognition system cannot be fulfilled without solving the segmentation problem. One of the major problems is the slant of the words and the dissimilarity in length and slope of the junction line between the handwritten characters. The challenge is to extract the morphological features and to find the junction line. The foremost contribution of this research is the new segmentation algorithm for handwritten Arabic characters using the Slant-Tolerant Segments Feature (STSF). STSF is a string of '+' or '-' signs and represents the strokes of the word characters. The testing of the STSF algorithm was conducted using a newly created database. The new database is called Arabic Handwritten Database/Universiti Sains Malaysia (AHD/USM). The Arabic handwritten database consists of 12300 words written by 82 different writers aged from 5 to more than 45 years. The experiments reported 90.12% correctness rate. The research also contributes in facilitating the study of the Arabic characters segmentation problem by creating new categorization system for the segmentation methods. It categorizes the segmentation methods into two approaches: Junction-Seeking Approach (JSA) and Recognize-Segment Approach (RSA). | en_US |
