Abstract Accurate handwriting recognition has been a challenging computer vision problem, because static feature analysis of the text pictures is often inadequate to account for high variance in handwriting styles across people and poor image quality of the handwritten text. Recently, by introducing machine learning, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), the recognition accuracy of various handwriting patterns is steadily improved. In this paper, a deep CNN model is developed to further improve the recognition rate of the MNIST handwritten digit dataset with a fast-converging rate in training. The proposed model comes with a multi-layer deep arrange structure, including 3 convolution and… More >

Abstract Individuals with special needs learn more slowly than their peers and they need repetitions to be permanent. However, in crowded classrooms, it is difficult for a teacher to deal with each student individually. This problem can be overcome by using supportive education applications. However, the majority of such applications are not designed for special education and therefore they are not efficient as expected. Special education students differ from their peers in terms of their development, characteristics, and educational qualifications. The handwriting skills of individuals with special needs are lower than their peers. This makes the task of Handwriting Recognition (HWR)… More >

Abstract In recent years, researchers in handwriting recognition analysis relating to indigenous languages have gained significant internet among research communities. The recent developments of artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and computational linguistics (CL) find useful in the analysis of regional low resource languages. Automatic lexical task participation might be elaborated to various applications in the NLP. It is apparent from the availability of effective machine recognition models and open access handwritten databases. Arabic language is a commonly spoken Semitic language, and it is written with the cursive Arabic alphabet from right to left. Arabic handwritten Character Recognition (HCR) is… More >

Abstract Even though several advances have been made in recent years, handwritten script recognition is still a challenging task in the pattern recognition domain. This field has gained much interest lately due to its diverse application potentials. Nowadays, different methods are available for automatic script recognition. Among most of the reported script recognition techniques, deep neural networks have achieved impressive results and outperformed the classical machine learning algorithms. However, the process of designing such networks right from scratch intuitively appears to incur a significant amount of trial and error, which renders them unfeasible. This approach often requires manual intervention with domain… More >

Abstract In the field of educational examination, automatic marking technology plays an essential role in improving the efficiency of marking and liberating the labor force. At present, the implementation of the policy of expanding erolments has caused a serious decline in the teacher-student ratio in colleges and universities. The traditional marking system based on Optical Mark Reader technology can no longer meet the requirements of liberating the labor force of teachers in small and medium-sized examinations. With the development of image processing and artificial neural network technology, the recognition of handwritten character in the field of pattern recognition has attracted the… More >

Abstract Handwriting recognition is one of the most significant problems in pattern recognition, many studies have been proposed to improve this recognition of handwritten text for different languages. Yet, Fewer studies have been done for the Arabic language and the processing of its texts remains a particularly distinctive problem due to the variability of writing styles and the nature of Arabic scripts compared to other scripts. The present paper suggests a feature extraction technique for offline Arabic handwriting recognition. A handwriting recognition system for Arabic words using a few important structural features and based on a Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural… More >
