Abstract :
In this paper an off-line Arabic/Farsi handwritten recognition Algorithm on a subset of Farsi name is proposed. In this system, There is no sub-word segmentation phase. Script database includes 3300 images of 30 Farsi common names. The features are wavelet coefficients extracted from smoothed word image profiles in four standard directions. The Centers of competitive layer of RBF neural network have been determined by combining GA and K_Means clustering algorithm. Weights of supervised layer has been trained by using LMS rule and the distances of feature vector of each sample to the centre of RBF network have been computed based on warping function. Experimental results show advantages of this method in field of handwriting recognition.
