Character Recognition Technique Implementation for Complicated Deteriorated Scene

There has been an increase in interest in digitizing and preserving old books and papers in the last few years. The quick advancement of data innovation and the Internet’s quick spread has also contributed to the enormous volume of image and video data. The texts that are included in the image and video assist us in analyzing them and are also utilized for indexing, archiving, and retrieval. Different noises, such as Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise, speckle noise, etc., can readily damage an image. Several image filtering algorithms, including the Gaussian filter, mean filter, median filter, etc., are employed to eliminate these various noises from images. This article analyses the impact of several pre-processing approaches, such as thresholding, morphology, and blurring procedures, to maximise text extraction strategies. The experiment’s findings demonstrate that pre-processing approaches unquestionably improve the document’s structural and visual quality.
