In this recipe, you will learn how to train KNN- and SVM-based digit recognition models. It's a simple Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system that can be extended for other characters as well. OCR is a powerful instrument used in many practical applications for recognizing text documents, automatically reading traffic sign messages, and so on.
