Abstract:
Standard databases play essential roles for evaluating and comparing results obtained by different groups of researchers. In this paper, an Arabic Handwritten Text Images Database written by Multiple Writers (AHTID/MW) is introduced. This database can be used for research in the recognition of Arabic handwritten text with open vocabulary, word segmentation and writer identification. The AHTID/MW contains 3710 text lines and 22896 words written by 53 native writers of Arabic. In addition, ground truth annotation is provided for each text image. The database is freely available for worldwide researchers.
