Recognition of Tifinaghe Characters Using a Multilayer Neural Network

In this paper, we present an off line Tifinaghe characters recognition system. Texts are scannedusing a flatbed scanner. Digitized text are normalised, noise is reduced using a median filter,baseline skew is corrected by the use of the Hough transform, and text is segmented into line andlines into words. Features are extracted using the Walsh Transformation. Finally characters arerecognized by a multilayer neural network.
