چکیده
Abstract Optical character recognition (OCR) is process of classification of optical patterns contained in a digital image. The character recognition is achieved through segmentation, feature extraction and classification. This chapter presents the basic ideas of OCR needed for a better understanding of the book. The chapter starts with a brief background and history of OCR systems. Then the different techniques of OCR systems such as optical scanning, location segmentation, pre-processing, segmentation, representation, feature extraction, training and recognition and post-processing. The different applications of OCR systems are highlighted next followed by the current status of the OCR systems. Finally, the future of the OCR systems is presented.

متن کاملCryptogram Decoding for Optical Character Recognition
Optical character recognition (OCR) systems for machine-printed documents typically require large numbers of font styles and character models to work well. When given a document printed in an unseen font, the performance of those systems degrade even in the absence of noise. In this paper, we perform OCR in an unsupervised fashion without using any character models by using a cryptogram decodin...
