Abstract

This paper discribes how stroke features in document images are extracted and used for the recognition of printed Arabic characters. It is of importance to provide a good base representation that facilitate analysis and processing of document images. The strokes are extracted by a method called Minimum Covering Runs (MCR)[1]. This method of representing binary images by a minimum number of horizontal and vertical runs is used as a preprocessing step. The strokes are labeled and ordered, a feature space for the 100 shapes of the 28 Arabic characters is build. The system is under developement but the recognition rate obtained at this stage, 95.5% is encouraging.
