Abstract :
This paper is presented to explain the steps in removing the secondary part of Jawi characters (such as dots, hamzah, and madda). The method used is based on the connected component labelling algorithm or CCLA and is added with the secondary type detection algorithm (STDA) by Bushofa and Spann (see Image and Vision Computing, vol.15, p.167-79, 1997). Several steps in the algorithm however, have been modified in order for it to be matched with the handwritten Jawi characters. Several samples of the result from the suggested algorithm are also presented. The result promises a good outcome
