Digit recognition without OCR
Hi!
I was wondering if we could read digits from an image without using OCR or template matching. I was thinking of using contours, but the process is too tedious. Is there any alternate solution? Could someone plz help me out.
Thanx
what are you trying to achieve ?
To extract digits from an image and print them
.. which would mean: building your own ocr (restricted to numbers) ?
(problem being: you obviously did not try anthing on your own, so far)
yes, kind of. But it is for a certain task where im not allowed to use the conventional OCR.
aah no I did try template matching, but was searching for an alternative. maybe a better way
