This paper describes the Online Arabic handwritingrecognition competition held at ICDAR 2009. This firstcompetition uses the ADAB-database with Arabic onlinehandwritten words. This year, 3 groups with 7 systems areparticipating in the competition. The systems were tested onknown data (sets 1 to 3) and on one test dataset which is unknownto all participants (set 4). The systems are comparedon the most important characteristic of classification systems,the recognition rate. Additionally, the…
