Abstract
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.
