This paper presents an innovative design for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) from text images by using the Template Matching method.OCR is an important research area and one of the most successful applications of technology in the field of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence.OCR provides full alphanumeric visualization of printed and handwritten characters by scanning text images and converts it into a corresponding editable text document. The main objective of this system prototype is to develop a prototype for the OCR system and to implement The Template Matching algorithm for provoking the system prototype. In this paper, we took alphabet (A-Z and a-z), and numbers (0-1), grayscale images, bitmap image format were used and recognized the alphabet and numbers by comparing between two images. Besides, we checked accuracy for different fonts of alphabet and numbers. Here we used Matlab R 2018 a software for the proper implementation of the system.

Optical Character Recognition has been an active research area in computer science for several years. Several research works undertaken on various languages in India. In this paper an attempt has been made to find out the percentage of accuracy in word and character segmentation of Hindi (National language of India) and Odia is one of the Regional Language mostly spoken in Odisha and a few Eastern India states. A comparative article has been published under this article. 10 sets of each printed Odia and Devanagari scripts with different word limits were used in this study. The documents were scanned at 300dpi before adopting pre-processing and segmentation procedure. The result shows that the percentage of accuracy both in word and character segmentation is higher in Odia language as compared to Hindi language. One of the reasons is the use of headers line in Hindi which makes the segmentation process cumbersome. Thus, it can be concluded that the accuracy level can vary from one language to the other and from word segmentation to that of the character segmentation.

The article is devoted to solving the problem of document versions comparison in electronic document management systems. Systems-analogues were considered, the process of comparing text documents was studied. In order to recognize the text on the scanned image, the technology of optical character recognition and its implementation — Tesseract library were chosen. The Myers algorithm is applied to compare received texts. The software implementation of the text document comparison module was implemented using the solutions described above.

India's constitution has 22 languages written in 17 different scripts. These materials have a limited lifespan, and as generations pass, these materials deteriorate, and the vital knowledge is lost. This work uses digital texts to convey information to future generations. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) helps extract information from scanned manuscripts (printed text). This paper proposes a simple and effective solution of optical character recognition (OCR) Sanskrit Character from text document images using long short-term memory (LSTM) and neural networks of Sanskrit Characters. Existing methods focuses only upon the single touching characters. But our main focus is to design a robust method using Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) architecture for overlapping lines, touching characters in middle and upper zone and half character which would increase the accuracy of the present OCR system for recognition of poorly maintained Sanskrit literature.

Template matching method is a simple and widely used method to recognize patterns. The weakness of this algorithm is the limited model that will be used as a template as a comparison in the database such as shape, size, and orientation. The Extraction Feature algorithm addresses the problem of template models such as the shape, size, and orientation that exist in the matching template algorithm by mapping the characteristics of the image object to be recognized. Optical character recognition is used to translate characters into digital images into text formats. Its simple implementation makes the template matching method widely used. In this final project discusses the introduction of color in an image to be detected color, this color recognition is not fully successful because of the influence of lightness. The workings of this application take picture is by taking a picture and then the application identifies the color of any existing and will issue results in the form of text percent, with a success rate of 15% and 85% failure when detecting a color.

<p><span>An optical character recognition (OCR) refers to a process of converting the text document images into editable and searchable text. OCR process poses several challenges in particular in the Arabic language due to it has caused a high percentage of errors. In this paper, a method, to improve the outputs of the Arabic Optical character recognition (AOCR) Systems is suggested based on a statistical language model built from the available huge corpora. This method includes detecting and correcting non-word and real words error according to the context of the word in the sentence. The results show that the percentage of improvement in the results is up to (98%) as a new accuracy for AOCR output. </span></p>

Text Images

Optical character recognition (OCR) is a process of text recognition in images (one word). The input images are taken from the dataset. The collected text images are implemented to pre-processing. In pre-processing, we can implement the image resize process. Image resizing is necessary when you need to increase or decrease the total number of pixels, whereas remapping can occur when you are zooming refers to increase the quantity of pixels, so that when you zoom an image, you will see clear content. After that, we can implement the segmentation process. In segmentation, we can segment the each characters in one word. We can extract the features values from the image that means test feature. In classification process, we have to classify the text from the image. Image classification is performed the images in order to identify which image contains text. A classifier is used to identify the image containing text. The experimental results shows that the accuracy.

Text Images

Optical character recognition systems for the images are used to convert books and documents into electronic form, to automate accounting systems in business, when recognizing markers using augmented reality technologies and etс. The quality of optical character recognition, provided that binarization is applied, is largely determined by the quality of separation of the foreground pixels from the background. Methods of text image binarization are analyzed and insufficient quality of binarization is noted. As a way of research the minimum-distance classifier for the improvement of the existing method of binarization of color text images is used. To improve the quality of the binarization of color text images, it is advisable to divide image pixels into two classes, “Foreground” and “Background”, to use classification methods instead of heuristic threshold selection, namely, a minimum-distance classifier. To reduce the amount of processed information before applying the classifier, it is advisable to select blocks of pixels for subsequent processing. This was done by analyzing the connected components on the original image. An improved method of the color text image binarization with the use of analysis of connected components and minimum-distance classifier has been elaborated. The research of the elaborated method showed that it is better than existing binarization methods in terms of robustness of binarization, but worse in terms of the error of the determining the boundaries of objects. Among the recognition errors, the pixels of images from the class labeled “Foreground” were more often mistaken for the class labeled “Background”. The proposed method of binarization with the uniqueness of class prototypes is recommended to be used in problems of the processing of color images of the printed text, for which the error in determining the boundaries of characters as a result of binarization is compensated by the thickness of the letters. With a multiplicity of class prototypes, the proposed binarization method is recommended to be used in problems of processing color images of handwritten text, if high performance is not required. The improved binarization method has shown its efficiency in cases of slow changes in the color and illumination of the text and background, however, abrupt changes in color and illumination, as well as a textured background, do not allowing the binarization quality required for practical problems.
