Project Proposal: Optical Character Recognition Engine

Supervisor: Alan Sexton

Keywords: Document Image Analysis

Brief Description:

Recognising printed characters correctly from scanned images is difficult because of the range of ways in which the scanned image may deviate from the true image. This project is to choose one of a number of different technologies and develop an OCR engine to recognise characters. Suitable technologies from image analysis and pattern classification and clustering can be used.

Special Equipment: No special equipment requirements
