Abstract : The main theme of this paper is the automatic segmentation of Arabic words using Mathematical Morphology tools. The proposed algorithm has been tested with a set of Arabic words written by different writers ranging from poor to acceptable quality. The initial experimental results are very encouraging and promising.
