A sequential algorithm for the segmentation of typewritten Arabic digitized text

الملخص EN

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of systems of characters having a strong cursive nature-such as Arabic-necessitates robust segmentation algorithms.

This paper presents a sequential algorithm based on the input-time tracing principle and only depends on the connectivity properties of the acquired text in the image binary domain.

Therefore, it is different from the known algorithms-that have been devised for the segmentation of typewritten Arabic text-in that no adjustable parameters are needed for successful '
