Abstract

This paper presents a Web based system for the automatic capture of Arabic fonts. The system is based on an algorithm, which incorporates various features including the detection of boundary, discovering corner and break points, and fitting the curve. The work done, in this paper, fully automate the process and produces best optimal results. Moreover the automated system developed is deployed over the Web using client/server model and state of the art technology.
