Generalized hough transform for arabic optical character recognition

The Generalized Hough Transform is a technique used todetect arbitrary objects in a given image. This techniqueis known for its capacity of absorption of distortions aswell as noises. In the present paper, we describe anapproach showing the efficiency of the use of theGeneralized Hough Transform to recognize Arabicprinted characters in their different shapes.
