INTRODUCTION

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

In other words, OCR systems transform a two-dimensional image of text, that could contain machine printed or handwritten text from its image representation into machine-readable text. OCR as a process generally consists of several sub-processes to perform as accurately as possible. The subprocesses are:

• Preprocessing of the Image
• Text Localization
• Character Segmentation
• Character Recognition
• Post Processing
