Abstract

This paper provides an approach to automatically recognize the Tifinagh characters. The proposed recognition system is based on Texture, Walsh transformation and GIST descriptors as feature extraction methods while the Bayesian Networks are used as a classifier. A comparative study between the Texture descriptor, Walsh transformation and GIST descriptor is given. The experimental results are obtained using a character database of isolated Amazigh characters. A recognition rate of 98. 18% is achieved using GIST descriptors.
