how are you everyone
I need your help to solve this problem :
how can I reduce the elongated parts in this word , this elongated parts do not have any meaning so I need to delete them .
As we have below in the image, the property of these parts is that every part is located at the same number of rows ,there are no pixels above or below .
any answer will be appreciated !
thank you

I suggest you get an algorithm from the experts who have already figured it out and published it, because there's nothing in MATLAB to do that at a high level. So find a paper here http://www.visionbib.com/bibliography/contentschar.html#OCR,%20Document%20Analysis%20and%20Character%20Recognition%20Systems
Look especially at these sections:
23.4.8.2 Arabic Character Recognition
23.4.8.3 Arabic Recognition, Word Level, Word Spotting
Then pick a paper, and code it up, or ask the authors if you can buy their code.

Wow, you're a fast reader. You're welcome. Looks like you can get a paper out of it since not one of all the other published papers on it were able to solve it.
