Recognition of Typewritten Arabic Characters Using Backpropagation Neural Networks

Asim Abdul-Fattah Nabawi *; Sabri Abdullah Mahmoud **

Abstract. Research efforts in the field of Arabic character recognition using optical techniques have intensified in the recent past. This state of affairs prevail due to several

reasons, among which is the increasing interest in computer systems combined with their affordable availability to a broader class of users, not to mention the technical

advances in OCR applications in languages other than Arabic.

This paper addresses the optical recognition of Arabic characters using the well known backpropagation neural network. Features of the Arabic characters based on Walsh transfonn and the moments method were extracted. Both classical and neural network classifiers were used in both the training and recognition phases. Comparison

of the two classification techniques and the two types of extracted features was carried out.

The results of this research work have shown that the use of the Walsh

transfonn-based features yielded higher recognition rates in addition to faster processing times compared to those of the moments-based technique. The latter technique, however,

requires less memory. The backpropagation technique was found to be more rolerant to noise than the classical classifiers. The former, however, was found to require several

trials to adapt its architecture to the needs of the particular application. The experimental results have ascertained the effect of using larger sets of characters on improving the

recognition rates in all instances.
