Segmentation techniques for online Arabic handwriting Recognition: A survey

This paper presents and compares techniques that have been used to segment Arabic handwriting scripts in online recognition systems. Those techniques attempt to segment cursive Arabic words into characters, or segment characters into small strokes that can be recognized via the recognition system. The structure and strategy of those reviewed techniques are explained in this article. The strengths and weaknesses of using these techniques will also be discussed.
