Developing an Optical Character Recognition system

Objective

  • To build and evaluate an optical character recognition system that can process scanned book pages and turn them into text.

Overall performance

The figures below indicate accuracy/performance using nearest neighbour and PCA based approach - Each page decreases in quality with added noise.

Noise value 0 - 98% accuracy Noise value 0.1 - 98% accuracy Noise value 0.2 - 92% accuracy
Noise value 0.3 - 78% accuracy Noise value 0.4 - 63% accuracy Noise value 0.5 - 51% accuracy

To test the code:

Ensure you are in the correct directory then run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Followed by:

run_evaluate.sh

The code should print out the percentage of correctly classified characters for each page.
