Using Faster R-CNN to Detect and Recognize Arabic Handwritten Words
Abstract:Arabic handwriting recognition is a crucial area of computer vision research. Still, its complexity, diverse writing styles, and overlapping words have led to a lack of published research in this field. This paper suggests two new models to recognize handwritten Arabic words, depending on the Faster Region-Convolution Neural Network (Faster R-CNN). These models used two pre-trained networks during the feature extraction phase: The Visual Geometry Group-16 (VGG-16) network and the Residual Network (ResNet50) ne… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
