Abstract :
This paper presents a new approach based on modified fractal signatures (MFS) and modified fractal features (MFF)for the discrimination of Oriental and Euramerican scripts. These methods will be useful in the measurement and classification of patterns. MFS do not need iterative breaking or merging, and can divide a document into blocks in a single step. MFF is also used in the identification and classification of a selected set of texture images with good results. It is anticipated that this approach could be widely used to process various types of documents, even including some with high geometrical complexity
