Technical Methods and Algorithms for Developing Efficient Optical Character Recognition System: An Overview

Journal Title: Annals. Computer Science Series - Year 2018, Vol 16, Issue 2

Abstract

Machine recognition problem of printed documents in Optical Character Recognition has been the target of research in the area of pattern recognition. Study in this aspect has been controlled by a need to join the natural process of image input with the data processing abilities of computer system. In this regard, engineers and scientists are not able to make judicious use of OCR systems for their technical work because they lack effective algorithms for interpretation of complex expressions even though it is important part of a Human Computer Interaction system. However, OCR in a nut shell is the electronic change of printed or handwritten text into images using machine encoding scheme representation like ASCII or Unicode. Hence, various methods and algorithms have been demonstrated in the study to increase the efficiency of system to effectively solve OCR problems. The study shows the concept of various OCR algorithms such as support vector machine, decision tree classifier, statistical, structural, artificial neural networks and template matching algorithms.
