Abstract

Handwritten word recognition is the ability of a computer to receive and interpret intelligible handwritten input. An important document recognition application is bank cheque processing. The Arabic bank cheque processing system has not been studied as much as Latin and Chinese systems. The domain of handwriting in the Arabic script presents unique technical challenges; proposing a model for feature extraction which combines multiple types of features most likely will help to improve the recognition rate. This work proposed a pixel distribution-based features model PDM for offline Arabic handwritten word recognition. Two combination levels were used: the first combines different features and the second combination was done by ensemble classifiers. The AHDB dataset was used, and the experimental results showed superior performance when combining multiple features and using multi classifiers.
