11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: classifying each extracted Kashida based on at least: a width of the extracted Kashida, a slope of an upper contour direction (UCD) of the extracted Kashida, and a slope of a lower contour direction (LCD) of the extracted Kashida.
11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: classifying each extracted Kashida based on at least: a width of the extracted Kashida, a slope of an upper contour direction (UCD) of the extracted Kashida, and a slope of a lower contour direction (LCD) of the extracted Kashida. 12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising: generating a width probability density function (PDF) for each of the width, UCD and LCD of the extracted Kashida, wherein the width PDF is generated based on one or more selected square bins having a width of 8-pixel, and discarding extracted Kashida having a width of less than 6-pixels.
