PROBLEM DEFINITION

Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR.

System is capable of recognizing printed text from multiple languages.

The technology enhances performance for degraded data.

This system is capable of processing static as well as dynamic inputs.

NEED OF SYSTEM

To reduce manual data entry work.

System with dynamic input is not exist in the market.

To improve degraded data(images/ text). It reduces overall cost & time.

ALGORITHMS USED

Grayscale Conversion Thresholding Erosion & Dilation

Sharpen & Blur

Image Segmentation

GRAYSCALE CONVERSION

GRAYSCALE CONVERSION

Color image is converted into Black & White image. Pixel carries only intensity information. Here the value of each pixel is a single sample.

THRESHOLDING

Original Image

Example of a threshold effect used on an image

THRESHOLDING

It is the simplest method of image segmentation.

From a grayscale image, thresholding can be used to create binary images.

During the thresholding process, individual pixels in an image are marked as "object" pixels if their value is greater than some threshold value

EROSION & DILATION

ORIGINAL IMAGE

DILATED IMAGE

EROTED IMAGE

EROSION & DILATION

Operations which will increase or decrease object in size.

Dilation will cause object to grow in size.

Erosion will cause object to decrease in size.

SHARPEN & BLUR

SHARPEN & BLUR

It will reduce the blur effect & repair the image.

The reduced or degraded images will be sharpened.

IMAGE SEGMENTATION

IMAGE SEGMENTATION
segmentation refers to the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments.

It is typically used to locate objects and boundaries in images.

CHALLENGES OF THE SYSTEM

Low-quality, low-resolution text recognition. Inpainting text recognition.

Separation of character.

challenges still exist in reading handwritten Texts.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk identification Product size : overall size of product/software Business : constrains imposed by management Customer : ability to communicate with customer Process : software process model used Development: availability and quality of tools Technical technology used Staff size: technical and project experience

REQUIREMENTS
Software req. (min)
Operating system xp & onwards.

Hardware req.
Processor p4 & onwards. RAM 128 MB & greater HDD 4GB.

Technology To Be Used:
Java Platform JDK 6.0.1 SQL Server

ADVANTAGES
White page detection. Correct skew/slant errors Normalize character size Reduced Manpower. Separation of text from background. Improve degraded data. Reduces cost & time.

APPLICATIONS
Real time handwritten scripts recognition.

Handwritten sticky notes.

Maintain any handwritten notes.

FUTURE SCOPE
More languages can be included.

System will be made on-line.

Can be implemented for mobile devices.

CONCLUSION
The OCR system is easily trainable on new sets of data and portable to recognize new scripts. With training, the system could achieve robust performance on degraded data. As this system is not exist in the market it will be very useful & efficient. And also language independence will also help to distinguish our system with existing systems.
