A Survey on Optical Character Recognition System

Understand

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has been a topic of interest for many years.

• It is defined as the process of digitizing a document image into its constituent characters.
• Despite decades of intense research, developing OCR with capabilities comparable to that of human still remains an open challenge.
• Due to this challenging nature, researchers from industry and academic circles have directed their attentions towards Optical Character Recognition.
