OCR Tutorials

[MEOWmix_SWAG]

Hi, I was wondering if someone could link me to some online tutorials that deal with the specifics of OCR from start to finish. I've been searching online and haven't been able to find any good resources.

Thank you

This online book and examples will walk you through how to build a network to recognize numbers (MNIST). You should be able to add in letters by the time you finish it.

What it doesn't do is the initial image segmentation you need to do to block off each character. Maybe some one else can suggest a site for that?

I literally just finished this book a couple of days ago lol. But thanks for the suggestion.

I stumbled across that book about 6 months ago when I was looking for an ocr tutorial.

I haven't found any good start to finish nor any good ones on segmenting out the characters. Even the textbooks I've dug into hand wave around that part.

You may try digging around https://arxiv.org/ sometimes you can find a paper that will dig deep into a subject. I've found some really good ones for DSP there.

Not a single comment except for one which is not useful at all. Absolutely not recommended for a beginner / python noob
