ABSTRACT
A simulation is described which provides a vehicle for the synthesis and subsequent performance analysis of optical character recognition (OCR) algorithms aimed at solving some of the most difficult problems encountered in OCR.
The simulation treats the problems of linking complex interactive algorithms together and processing large real-world data files under economic constraints.
The simulation is written in Fortran V and is installed on University Computing Company's Dallas 1108 facility. It is comprised of a main program, four major subroutines, 29 supporting routines, and the system library routines. It presently requires 104,500 words of memory (418,000 bytes). Results of the computer simulation on real-world handprint character data are presented.

Automated system for Arabic optical character recognition
ICICS '12: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Information and Communication SystemsIn this paper an Arabic Optical Character Recognition system is implemented. The system takes a scanned image of an Arabic text as an input and generates an editable text out of it. The system starts by segmenting the document which is presented as an ...
