Character recognition techniques associate a symbolic identity with the image of character. Character recognition is commonly referred to as optical character recognition (OCR), as it deals with the recognition of optically processed characters. The modern version of OCR appeared in the middle of the 1940's with the development of the digital computers. OCR machines have been commercially avail...

Optical Character Recognition or OCR is the electronic translation of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine translated images. It is widely used to recognize and search text from electronic documents or to publish the text on a website. OCR is the machine replication of human reading and has been the subject of intensive research for more than three decades. OCR can be described...

Department of Computer Science Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Mysore Campus Bogadi, Mysore INDIA _____________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Recognition of text document images is the inclination of any optical character recognition systems. This paper aims at extending the functionality of optical character recognition system to recognize more t...

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 di...

Developing a Bangla OCR requires bunch of algorithm and methods. There were many effort went on for developing a Bangla OCR. But all of them failed to provide an error free Bangla OCR. Each of them has some lacking. We discussed about the problem scope of currently existing Bangla OCR‟s. In this paper, we present the basic steps required for developing a Bangla OCR and a complete workflow for d...

Goal We will specifically tackle the problem of the signboard character recognition. Although OCR has been around for a while and is now commonly used to convert scanned documents [3] and license plate [1] to text, the problem we are tackling here is more interesting. Specifically, the signboard can be of different color, the signboard text can be non-standard, the signboard image can be taken ...

-This review paper deals with a review of the optical character recognition using the Matlab software. OCR or optical character recognition is the process of converting scanned images of machine-printed or handwritten text (numerals, letters, and symbols) into a computer-processable format; also known as optical character recognition (OCR). A typical OCR system contains three logical components...
