Image Processing Techniques for Braille Writing Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present the development of BrailLector, a system able to speak from Braille writing. By means of dynamic thresholding, adaptive Braille grid, recovery dots techniques and TTS software (Text-To-Speech), BrailLector translates Braille scanned images into normal text, and not only that, it speaks the translated text. BrailLector is a robust application with innovative thersholding and Braille grid creation algorithms which detects and read Braille characters with 99.9% of correct symbols and an error variance below 0.012. The conversion time is only 26 secs for double-sided documents by MATLAB programming language.

متن کاملReview Paper on Feature Vector Based Distance Analysis Approach for Braille Character Identification
The Braille is the representation based language used by blind people to perform conversation. Each Braille character itself represents some symbol or word or character specific to the language such as English. A Braille character is generated using group of dots. To identify the Braille characters in an automated way, there is the requirement of some recognition system. In this review paper, a...
