| Abstract: This paper aims to provide a segmentation algorithm for the Iranian bank checks. The central idea is based on the morphological analysis and connected component concept. The proposed algorithm uses the connected component properties to segment unconstrained Iranian bank checks and prepares those for OCR application. To evaluate the performance of the algorithm, it has been tested on a set of 240 Iranian bank checks which collected from 6 types of Iranian bank checks (40 samples for each type). The algorithm has a good success on document restoration and segmentation. Numerical results indicate that the proposed algorithm has 96.582% accuracy on segmentation of 5 fields of the Iranian bank checks. | ||
