Abstract

In this paper, we propose a system for recognition handwritten characters Tifinagh, with the use of neural networks (the multi layer perceptron MLP), the hidden Markov model (HMM), the hybrid Model MLP/HMM and a feature extraction method based on mathematical morphology, this method is tested on the database of handwritten isolated characters Tifinagh size consistent (1800 images in learning and 5400 test examples). The recognition rate found is 92.33%. The MLP, HMM and MLP+HMM classifiers show good enough results.
