Abstract :
Optical character recognition systems (OCR) contribute tremendously to the advancement of office automation, provide an easy to use man-machine interface. The solution used in this paper for the problem of Arabic character recognition is insensitive to scale, slight distortions (rotation and misalignment) and limited noise. An image reconstruction is used to segment the connected and overlapping Arabic characters. The program also traces tables and column automatically. The system is implemented on PC platform and has a simple and user friendly graphical interface under Windows operating system.
