Our ultimate objective is to contribute to the field of script and nature identification to be able
to differentiate, at word level, handwritten or machine-printed, Arabic and Latin scripts …

This paper introduces a new method for controlling selection pressure in fine-grained
parallel GAs. Our model, inspired by percolation theory, employs a" seeding" mechanism …

A method for Arabic and Latin text block differentiation for printed and handwritten scripts is
proposed. This method is based on a morphological analysis for each script at the text block …

Optical character recognition (OCR) shows great potential for rapid data entry, but has
limited success when applied to the Arabic language. Traditional OCR problems are …

In this paper, we present an approach for Arabic and Latin script and its type identification
based onHistogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) descriptors. HOGs are first applied at word …

This paper describes a system that recognizes on-line cursive handwriting. The system was
specialized on Arabic script, but it may be adapted to work on any other language. A genetic …

This paper considers the problem of script and nature identification at word level. We
introduce Pyramid Histogram of Oriented Gradients (PHOG) features which have been …

In this paper we propose a structured prediction based system for text/non-text classification
and printed/handwritten texts separation at connected component (CC) level in complex …

Arabic and Latin language and script identification in machine printed and handwritten types
present several difficulties because the Arabic (machine printed or handwritten) and the …
