Neighborhood Label Extension for Handwritten/Printed Text Separation in Arabic Documents

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of handwritten and printed text separation in Arabic document images. The objective is to extract handwritten text from other parts of the document. This allows the application, in a second time, of a specialized processing on the extracted handwritten part or even on the printed one. Documents are first preprocessed in order to remove eventual noise and correct document orientation. Then, the document is segmented into pseudo-lines that are segmented in turn into pseudo-words. A local classification step, using a Gaussian kernel SVM, associates each pseudo-word into handwritten or printed classes. This label is then propagated in the pseudo-word's neighborhood in order to recover from classification errors. The proposed methodology has been tested on a set of public real Arabic documents achieving a separation rate of around 90%.
