Abstract

Arabic handwriting analysis and verification pose challenges due to their unique characteristics. Deep learning techniques have gained prominence in computer vision for their ability to learn from data. This study proposes a high-speed and precise solution using a convolutional neural network (CNN) to automate the verification process of Algerian postal checks written in Arabic handwriting. The solution consists of hardware and software components. The software includes four CNN models to identify the check's ID number (CID), user's signature (US), handwriting courtesy (HCA), and legal amount (HLA). The hardware setup involves a camera connected to a Raspberry PI 3. Test results demonstrate the proposed approach's effectiveness, achieving accuracy of 100% for CID, 98.61% for US, 99.28% for HCA, and 96.35% for HLA. This comprehensive system offers a promising solution for efficient verification of Arabic handwritten postal checks.
