English Abstract
A considerable progress in recognition techniques for many non-Arabic characters has been achieved.
In contrary, few efforts have been put on the research of Arabic characters.
In any Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system the segmentation step is usually the essential stage in which an extensive portion of processing is devoted and a considerable share of recognition errors is attributed.
In this research, a novel segmentation approach for machine Arabic printed text for different segmentation stages; line segmentation, word and sub-word segmentation, and character segmentation including diacritics with different font types, styles, and sizes are proposed.
The proposed approach based on profile projection techniques, finding global maximum peak, connected components, region properties, and extracting the word's contour.
These methods reduce computation, errors, and give a clear description for the sub-word.
Both of evaluation and testing of the proposed methods have been developed using MATLAB and shows nearly 98% accuracy for different segmentation stages
