Hello

I would like to start a project like this http://www.cvisiontech.com/library/ocr/text-ocr/automatic-number-plate-recognition-with-ocr.html

Optical Character Recognition(OCR) is the process of extracting text from images

Text detection is a challenging task to find only text specific regions in a given image. I have searched on Google and collected some information. We can write a python program which allows to select desire portion in an image and extract that selected portion into text.

This is required hardware and tool

• Raspberry Pi
• Pi Camera
  
• Python
• openCV
• Tesseract

I haven't worked with openCV and Tesseract. OpenCV is library of programming function I don't understand what's Tesseract

If anyone has worked with OCR. Please give suggestions for improvement

 

Hello,

This Tesseract is the OCR engine:
