Intelligent System for Persian Calligraphy Learning.

Persian Nastaliq calligraphy is one of the most famous oriental arts. This study proposes for the first time an intelligent tutor system for automation of the Persian calligraphy learning process. The system incorporates image processing and machine learning technologies. Digitization, filtering, segmentation and feature extraction are image-processing techniques that prepare the appropriate input for the training phase of the SVM machine learning phase. Displaying suitable feedback on screen for learners is another aim of the study. In this regard, the system provides facilities for Persian Nastaliq calligraphy learners to reduce errors that are inherent in traditional education methods, makes the process more efficient and allows people to take advantage of learning possibilities whenever and wherever they choose.
