Abstract

Nastaliq is a calligraphic, beautiful and more aesthetic style of writing Urdu, the national language of Pakistan, also used to read and write in India and other countries of the region. OCRs developed for many world languages are already under efficient use but none exist for Nastaliq - a calligraphic adaptation of the Arabic scrip which is inherently cursive in nature. In Nastaliq, word and character overlapping makes optical recognition more complex. This paper presents the ongoing research on Nastaliq Optical Character Recognition (NOCR). In this research, we have proposed a novel segmentation-free technique for the design and implementation of a Nastaliq OCR based on cross-correlation. Copyright 2008 ACM.
