In this paper, we propose a new and effective Arabic handwritten characters recognition framework using multi-scale histogram oriented gradient (HOG) features and the deep rule-based classifier (DRB). In the feature extraction stage, the proposed framework combines multi-scale HOG features, and then the DRB is applied on comprehensive HOG features to obtain the final classification label/class. This study involves experimental analyses that were conducted on the publicly available cursive Arabic Handwritten Characters Database (AHCD) containing 16800 characters. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed recognition system compared to the existing state-of-the-art systems.
