Algorithm based on normal coordinate vectors with 16 segments for the data fusion from hand-written Arabic text...

Hand-written text recognition is useful for interpreting records in different fields such as healthcare, surgery and police in which professionals may avoid technical equipment and prefer writing notes on paper. In order to perform data fusion from different data sources, handwriting automatic recognition involves barriers such as different ways of writing letters and deformation due to many reasons. This work presents a novel handwriting recognition approach based on the application of coordinate vectors to find similarities in different kinds of deformations. In particular, it has been implemented using 16 segments in order to distinguish all the particularities in matching the new text considering a dataset with a machine-learning approach. The implementation of this approach with MATLAB shows promising results with accuracy of 92.8% for with ensemble and bagged trees, after analyzing 22 possible combinations of machine learning and processing techniques.
