Image processing question - beginning a personal project
显示 更早的评论
Hello,
I'm about to begin a personal project that will deal with some image processing, and I was hoping for advice before jumping in. My goal is to create a program that accepts an image of my hand-written homeworks, and processes each character into, say, a text file (further manipulations will be simple). My biggest problem lies in acquiring the characters from the image.
Let me first tell you my ideas:
1) Provide samples of my handwriting of each character (numbers, letters) and use a simple hamming distance (might have to scale for comparison).
2) Train a neural network to recognize my characters and use that (which NN would you recommend?).
3) Anything else you can think of that's better.
Otherwise I plan to use bounding boxes that I think MATLAB can automatically determine for each character (I assume given some threshold).
My biggest problem; however, within this character determination is that I will sometimes write a fraction,
a
_
b
and I'm not sure if I can somehow detect it's a fraction rather than 3 lines, or if i should stick to a/b.
Question: what method of character recognition would you recommend I employ, given that I will be taking from a hand-written (possibly tilted) input image, and how should I handle multi-line fractions (or anything that has a similar multi-line issue)?
Thanks for your time community.
Edit: although I might have added Neural Network Toolbox, I don't have nor plan to use that - I'll code my own of whatever is suggested, so please don't advise anything directly from that toolbox :).

There's an open-source project doing ocr for mathematical formulas.
So you can either try to implement it in Matlab or contribute to the open-source effort.
Personally, I'd pick the later.

Why don't you use the forward slash for fractions?
