2. Preprocessing Techniques:
• Image Enhancement: Enhance the quality of the image by adjusting brightness,
contrast, and sharpness to improve OCR accuracy.
• Noise Reduction: Apply noise reduction techniques such as Gaussian blurring or
median filtering to remove unwanted noise from the image.
• Binarization: Convert the image to binary format (black and white) to improve text
extraction.
• Deskewing: Correct any skew in the document to ensure the text is aligned properly.
4. Language and Font Support: Ensure that your OCR system supports the languages and
fonts present in your documents. Some OCR engines may struggle with non-standard fonts
or languages other than English.
5. Post-processing Techniques:
• Text Correction: Implement spell-checking and grammar correction algorithms to
improve the accuracy of OCR output.
• Contextual Analysis: Use contextual information to correct misinterpreted
characters or words. For example, if a word is recognized incorrectly but makes
sense in the context of the surrounding text, it can be corrected accordingly.
• Confidence Thresholding: Set a confidence threshold for OCR results and discard
low-confidence detections to reduce false positives.
