Abstract

The recognition of Tifinaghe documents became a very important field of research. This importance is mainly due to the attention that has been given by the official institutions to the Amazigh language and culture. This paper represents our contribution in this process of Amazigh language’s revitalization. In this paper we describe all the details concerning the necessary steps (pre-processing, text lines’ segmentation, extracted lines’ segmentation) of our approach for Tifinaghe text’s segmentation (handwritten and typewritten). This approach is based on the Radon transform in terms of segmenting texts into lines and on the connected components algorithm in order to segment the extracted lines into Tifinaghe characters.
