Towards the on-line recognition of Arabic characters
T.J. Klassen, Malcolm Iain Heywood · 2003
A generic system is proposed for the recognition of online handwritten Arabic characters. Automatic extraction of features from online data using self-organizing maps (SOMs) avoids heuristic extraction of features. The performance of a perceptron classifier is competitive with MLP (multilayer perceptron) and genetic programming-based approaches and is a better fit for hand-held computing devices.
