Arabic math solver (server) is a flask web server that recognizes an image of a mathematical expression in Arabic notation and applies an operation on it like integration, differentiation, etc.

Arabic Math Solver - Server Side

is a flask web app which recognizes sent image of an Arabic mathematical expression through characters' segmentation, characters recognition, and parsing them into a mathematical expression then apply an operation on it e.g (solving the roots of polynomial, integration, etc).

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• python >= 3.8.12

Installation (For windows)

1. Clone the repo

git clone [email protected]:omarshawky15/ArabicMathSolver-Server.git

2. Create a virtual environment

python -m venv venv

3. Activate the virtual environment

source venv/Scripts/activate

4. Install the required packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

• To start the local server, run

python app.py

then upload the image to the server and see the html output. (Default operation: solving the roots of polynomial)

• To use without running the server, uncomment the runLocal() function in app.py, insert the image path, and comment app.run().

Main Components

Segmentation

The image is partitioned into multiple cropped characters by analyzing their contours using OpenCV.

Recognition

Each character is recognized using our trained tensorflow model which consists of the following layers.

Layer (type)	Output Shape	Param #
(BatchNormalization)	(None, 32, 32, 1)	4
(Conv2D)	(None, 32, 32, 64)	1664
(Conv2D)	(None, 32, 32, 64)	102464
(MaxPooling2D)	(None, 16, 16, 64)	0
(Dropout)	(None, 16, 16, 64)	0
(Conv2D)	(None, 16, 16, 128)	73856
(Conv2D)	(None, 16, 16, 128)	147584
(MaxPooling2D)	(None, 8, 8, 128)	0
(Dropout)	(None, 8, 8, 128)	0
(Flatten)	(None, 8192)	0
(Dropout)	(None, 8192)	0
(Dense)	(None, 256)	2097408
(Dense)	(None, 43)	11051

Parsing

Symbols are parsed together to form a mathematical expression where different combinations are handled like fraction, power, square root, ..etc

Output

The chosen operation (integration, differentiation, etc.) is applied on the mathematical expression using SymPy which is a library for symbolic mathematics. Then both the expression and the operation output are translated back to Arabic mathematical notation.
