Abstract

Arabic character identification presents a significant obstacle to the comprehension and analysis of Arabic text. This paper presents an improved technique that generates Freeman code from handwritten Arabic characters. This code provides the shortest code length without losing character information, accounting for all handwritten Arabic character variants. We tested this code using a set of Arabic characters in various formats to identify Arabic characters in order to take use of the code generated by our enhanced method. We also performed a comparison between our Freeman code and codes generated in other related research. In light of this, the code that we obtained correctly represents the Arabic letter in all of its variants, including the ones that the algorithms in previous publications did not consider. Consequently, our novel method based on Freeman coding represents a significant advancement in Arabic character recognition. Furthermore, our method provides a successful way of identifying and presenting Arabic characters.
