Recognition of the Script in Serbian Documents Using Frequency Occurrence and Co-Occurrence Analysis

Table 6

Cooccurrence descriptors for Latin and Cyrillic cipher text.

Serbian language	Latin	Cyrillic	Characterization
Uniformity (energy)	0.2459	0.3811	Latin < Cyrillic
Entropy	−1.6298	−1.4363	Latin > Cyrillic
Maximum probability	0.3722	0.5863	Latin < Cyrillic
Dissimilarity	0.7356	0.6669	Latin > Cyrillic
Contrast	1.0423	1.2660	Latin < Cyrillic

From the above results, it is clear that co-occurrence descriptors can fully characterize the difference between Latin and Cyrillic script. This means that frequency analysis of the occurrence can be supplemented with additional attributes in order to define a strong margin as a criterion to distinguish a certain script.
