A New Approach for Arabic Handwritten Postal Addresses Recognition

Author 1: Moncef Charfi Author 2: Monji Kherallah Author 3: Abdelkarim El Baati Author 4: Adel M. Alimi

In this paper, we propose an automatic analysis system for the Arabic handwriting postal addresses recognition, by using the beta elliptical model. Our system is divided into different steps: analysis, pre-processing and classification. The first operation is the filtering of image. In the second, we remove the border print, stamps… Read full abstract & cite →
