In this paper, we present a multi-stage HMM-based text recognition system for handwritten Arabic. This system employs a novel way of representing Arabic characters by separating the core shapes from the diacritics and then representing these core shapes by smaller units which we term as sub-core shapes. This results in huge reductions in the number of models that need to be trained for the text recognition...
In this paper we will present our investigations related to contextual modeling for HMM-based handwritten Arabic text recognition. We will, first, discuss the justifications and the need for contextual modeling for handwritten Arabic text recognition. Next, we will discuss the issues related to contextual modeling for Arabic text recognition. Finally, we will present our novel class-based contextual...
In this paper, we present a multi-stage approach to handwritten Arabic text recognition using HMM where we separate the Arabic text image into core components and diacritics and recognize them separately using two separate HMM recognition systems. In the next stage, we combine the scores from both recognizers to make a final word hypothesis. This approach leads to huge reduction in the number of HMM...
Sub-character HMM models for Arabic text recognition allow sharing of common patterns between different position-dependent shape forms of an Arabic character as well as between different characters. The number of HMMs gets reduced considerably while still capturing the variations in shape patterns. This results in a compact, efficient, and robust recognizer with reduced model set. In the current paper...
Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is one of the most widely used classifier for text recognition. In this paper we are presenting novel sub-character HMM models for Arabic text recognition. Modeling at sub-character level allows sharing of common patterns between different contextual forms of Arabic characters as well as between different characters. The number of HMMs gets reduced considerably while still...
