Question

I am searching for a good character extraction method,
or sometimes it is called stroke-model or stroke filter.
So, I;ve seen many papers, but they all take a long time for understanding and implementation,
I want to ask if someone knows some good source codes or demos?
Also I want to get some kind of full overview of methods available on these theme : character extraction from images, (grayscale).
The main problem is to get a regions of image that include only characters and then some binarization can be made. After that the feature extraction is done (actually OCR works then).

Answer 1

Maybe GNU Ocrad can be interesting? I haven’t looked at the source though.
