DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION USING TEMPLATE MATCHING FOR MULTI FONTS / SIZE

Abstract

Optical character recognition (OCR) is an efficient way of converting scanned image into machine code which can further edit. There are variety of methods have been implemented in the field of character recognition. This paper proposes Optical character recognition by using Template Matching. The templates formed, having variety of fonts and size .In this proposed system, Image pre-processing, Feature extraction and classification algorithms have been implemented so as to build an excellent character recognition technique for different scripts .Result of this approach is also discussed in this paper. This system is implemented in Matlab.
