This material is related to Arabic character and text recognition (OCR). The provided two printed Arabic datasets along with some recognition results are candidates to be benchmarks for printed Arabic OCR.

The provided datasets are part of the research work pursued towards the fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electronic Imaging and Media Communications (EIMC) of the School of Computing, Informatics & Media at the University of Bradford, UK.
The research supervisor is Dr. Rami Qahwaji.
