Generalized Hough Transform for Arabic Optical Character Recognition

The Generalized Hough Transform is a technique used to detect arbitrary objects in a given image. This technique is known for its capacity of absorption of distortions as well as noises. In the present paper, we describe an approach showing the efficiency of the use of the Generalized Hough Transform to recognize Arabic printed characters in their different shapes.
