Abstract

The goal of handwriting recognition has been a top priority for those who want to enter data into computer systems for more than thirty years. In several fields, the advent of handwriting recognition technology is highly anticipated. OCR technology has made it possible for computers to recognize characters as visual objects and collect data about their unique characteristics in recent years. In particular, several studies in this field have focused on Arabic writing. The use of machines to examine handwritten papers is the first step in the character identification process. The identification of specific Arabic characters is the main goal of this particular investigation. In computer vision, Arabic character recognition is very important since it's necessary to correctly recognize and classify Arabic letters and characters in manuscripts. In this research, an innovative approach based on identifying Arabic character characteristics using BoVW (bag of visual words) and SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) features is proposed. These features are clustered using k-means clustering to produce a dictionary. Following that, SVM (Support Vector Machine) is utilized to classify the word images in a visual codebook created using these terms. The proposed approach is an innovative method to deal with the difficulties associated with Arabic hand-writing recognition. The utilization of BoVW and SIFT features is expected to enhance the system's robustness in recognizing and classifying Arabic characters. The proposed approach will be experimentally evaluated using a dataset that includes a variety of Arabic characters written in various styles. The results of this study will offer important new perspectives on the effectiveness and practicality of the approach suggested.
