Identification of arabic word from bilingual text using character features

The identification of the language of the script is an important stage in the process of recognition of the writing. There are several works in this research area, which treat various languages. Most of the used methods are global or statistical. In this present paper, we study the possibility of using the features of scripts to identify the language. The identification of the language of the script by characteristics returns the identification in the case of multilingual documents less difficult. We present by this work, a study on the possibility of using the structural features to identify the Arabic language from an Arabic / Latin text.

Extraction of handwritten areas from colored image of bank checks by an hybrid method

One of the first step in the realization of an automatic system of check recognition is the extraction of the handwritten area. We propose in this paper an hybrid method to extract these areas. This method is based on digit recognition by Fourier descriptors and different steps of colored image processing . It requires the bank recognition of its code which is located in the check marking band as well as the handwritten color recognition by the method of difference of histograms. The areas extraction is then carried out by the use of some mathematical morphology tools.
