Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Thresholding Algorithm-Based Optical Character Recognition System for Information Extraction in Complex ImagesDaniel Akinbade, Adewale Opeoluwa Ogunde, Mba Obasi Odim, Bosede Oyenike OguntundeExtracting texts from images with complex backgrounds is a major challenge today. Many existing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems could not handle this problem. As reported in the literature, some existing methods that can handle the problem still encounter major difficulties with extracting texts from images with sharp varying contours, touching word and skewed words from scanned documents and images … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2020 · 8,470 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Feature Extraction Method for Accuracy Improvement in “Aksara Lontara” TranslationIntan Sari Areni, Asyraful Insan Asry, IndrabayuAn Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of “Aksara Lontara” has been constructed using a novel combination of feature extraction methods in this study. The ancient font of “Lontara” is then translated into Bahasa Indonesia to help non-native language to learn this language. Two powerful extraction feature methods, i.e., Modified Direction Feature (MDF) and Fourier Descriptor (FD) are stages combined to deal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 9 · 27 Aug 2017 · 8,851 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMultilevel Classifier in Recognition of Handwritten Arabic CharactersRawan Ismail Zaghloul, Enas Faisal AlRawashdeh, Dojanah Mohammad Kadri BaderProblem statement: Arabic offline handwriting recognition is considered one of the most challenging topics. This is probably caused by the fact that Arabic recognition system faced many problems during the development stage. It faces the usual problems of character recognition in general, in addition to the problems that are specific to Arabic language only. The aim of this study was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 7,005 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Hidden Layer Neurons on the Classification of Optical Character Recognition Typed Arabic NumeralsNidal F. Shilbayeh, Mahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: The effect of varying the number of nodes in the hidden layer and number of iterations are important factors in the recognition rate. In this paper, a novel and effective criterion based on Cross Pruning (CP) algorithm is proposed to optimize number of hidden neurons and number of iterations in Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural based recognition system. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,556 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptical Character Recognition System for Arabic Text Using Cursive Multi-Directional ApproachMansoor Al-A'ali, Jamil AhmadThis paper presents a novel new technique based on feature extraction and on dynamic cursor sizing for the recognition of Arabic Text. The most challenging area in Arabic OCR (AOCR) research is the segmentation of words into their sub-words and their individual characters. Several rules are defined that govern the size and movement of the cursor through each segment. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,970 accessesView PDF Cite
