A system and associated methodology recognizes an Arabic like alphanumeric character using fuzzy modeling. The method receives a handwritten Arabic like alphanumeric character, stores fuzzy models of a plurality of Arabic like alphanumeric characters, preprocesses the handwritten Arabic like alphanumeric character, extracts features from the preprocessed Arabic like alphanumeric character, computes a similarity value based on fuzzy comparison between points of the preprocessed Arabic like alphanumeric character and the stored fuzzy models, classifies the handwritten Arabic like alphanumeric character based at least in part on the similarity value and outputs a classified alphanumeric character.

The Arabic bank check analysis and zone extraction method for courtesy amount, legal amount, and the date fields uses available information and performs adaptive local processing using projections and connected component analysis. The method performs skew correction and connected component analysis on the check image and removes components smaller than average size before identifying the regions using projection profiles. This leads to a highly effective and robust technique. The method is based on prior knowledge of the check zone structure.
