A Method for Printed Uyghur Character Segmentation
Character segmentation is one of the most difficult stages in Uyghur recognition. In this paper, according to the writing style of the Uyghur, a method which is based on the image contour is proposed, it firstly calculates the baseline fields of the scanned image page by using Hough transformation, then segments the characters by adjusting the baseline fields, and finally merging the multiple parts by using the statistical part of the width. The Experimental results show a high correct segmentation rate and stability. As Uyghur borrowing Arabic characters and part of the Persian characters, so the segmentation method also applies to the recognition of Arabic.
