You can master Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV - PyImageSearch
In this blog post, I sit down with Raul Garcia-Martin, a PhD candidate in Biometric Recognition at the University Carlos III of Madrid. Raul’s work focuses on identifying individual people by their biometrics. You’re likely already familiar with the most…

Given that we can detect the writing system of the text, it raises the question: Is it possible to translate text from one language to another using OCR and Tesseract? To learn how to translate languages using Tesseract and Python,…

In our previous tutorial, you learned how to OCR only digits from an input image. But what if you wanted to obtain more fine-grained control on the character filtering process? For example, when building an invoicing application, you may want…

In a previous tutorial, we implemented our very first OCR project. We saw that Tesseract worked well on some images but returned total nonsense for other examples. Part of being a successful OCR practitioner is learning that when you see…

The first time I ever used the Tesseract optical character recognition (OCR) engine was in my college undergraduate years. A dataset comprising diverse textual images is necessary for an OCR project. It enables the OCR system to learn different text…

Optical character recognition, or OCR for short, is used to describe algorithms and techniques (both electronic and mechanical) to convert images of text to machine-encoded text. We typically think of OCR in terms of software. Namely, these are systems that:…
