Building an optical character recognizer using neural networks

Now that we know how to interact with data, let's build a neural network-based OCR system. The operations of classification and indexing the images are based on the automatic analysis of the image content, which constitutes the main application field of the imaging analysis. The objective of an automatic image recognition system consists in the description, through mathematical models and computer implementations, the content of an image, all the while trying, as far as possible, to respect the principles of the human visual system.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will build a neural network-based OCR system.
