We are working on implementing an OCR on OpenCv. We have gained the contours from our images. Now the part we are stuck on is how can we use these contours to recognize the characters that are now showing on our contour image?
What is to be used? I mean basically how do we use the information gained from the contours to our benefit?
You can use various properties of contours for matching, like their bounding boxes (
cvBoundingRect) or ellipses (cvFitEllipse2), their moments (cvContourMoments), their convexity (cvCheckContourConvexity,cvConvexHull2). `cvMatchShapescalculates Hu moments for comparison. You can also create pairwise geometrical histograms (cvCalcPGH).You may check Gary Bradski’s and Adrian Kaehler’s Learning OpenCV for details.
