Survey for Databases On Arabic Off-line Handwritten Characters Recognition System

Abstract

The principal goal of optical character recognition system (OCR) is to recognize the classes of unknown handwritten characters using a previously stored dataset of characters' classes. Recently, (OCR) has become a dynamic area of research, due to its broad band of applications including postal sorting, signature recognition, bank cheque processing and automatic data entry and other applications. This paper provides a survey of Databases on Arabic offline handwritten character recognition system. Also, it examines the literature on the most significant work in Arabic optical Character Recognition(AOCR).
