Abstract
This paper presents a real database for the Arabic printed text recognition, APTID / MF (Arabic Printed Text Image Database / Multi-Font).This database can be used to evaluate the system that recognizes Arabic printed texts with an open vocabulary. APTID / MF may be also used for research in word segmentation and font identification. APTID / MF is obtained from 387 pages of Arabic printed documents scanned with grayscale format and 300 dpi resolutions. From this documents, 1,845 text-blocks have been extracted. In addition ground truth file is provided for each texts-block. APTID / MF also includes an Arabic printed character image dataset made up of 27,402 samples.
