Abstract
A system for writer identification based on Arabic handwritten words was built. First a database of words was gathered and used as a test base. Then, features vectors were extracted from writers' word images. Prior to feature extraction, normalization operations were applied to a word or text line. In this research, we studied the feature extraction and recognition operations on Arabic text, on the identification rate of writers. Since there is no well known database containing Arabic handwritten words for researchers to test, we built a new database of off-line Arabic handwriting text to be used for writer identification research. The proposed database is meant to provide training and testing sets for Arabic writer identification research. Arabic handwritten words were collected from 100 writers. We evaluated the performance of edge-based directional probability distributions as features and other features in Arabic writer identification.
