2.2 TensorFlow
Tensorflow, an open-source library developed by Google, sits at the core of this project's
deep learning capabilities. TensorFlow excels at numerical computations and building
large-scale machine learning models. In this Handwritten Digit Recognition system,
TensorFlow serves two key purposes:

1. Model Building: TensorFlow provides the building blocks and functionalities to

construct the deep learning model responsible for analysing images and
classifying handwritten digit. Its flexible architecture allows for experimentation
with different neural network configurations to achieve optimal performance.

2. Model Training: TensorFlow facilitates the training process, where the model
learns to identify patterns and relationships within the handwritten digit image
dataset. This training process involves feeding the dataset images and their
corresponding action labels into the model, allowing it to refine its ability to
accurately predict actions from new unseen images.

By leveraging TensorFlow's powerful capabilities, the system can effectively learn from
data and achieve a high degree of accuracy in recognizing human actions from images.

PROJECT/WORK DETAILS

In this chapter, we delve into the specifics of the project undertaken during the internship
at EICT NIT Patna. In this project I focused on building a Handwritten Digit Recognizer
(HDR) system. This system analyses handwritten digit through picture or camera data to
identify and categorize specific numbers. The project involved tasks like data acquisition,
model training, and potentially building a user interface for interaction. Throughout this
process, I collaborated with experts to gain valuable insights into the complexities of
Image Recognition technology and its real-world applications. This experience not only
honed my technical skills in this specific area but also broadened my understanding of
the field and its potential impact.

3.1 Project Overview

Fig. 3.1 Input

Fig. 3.2 Output Generated

The Handwritten Digit Recognizer aims to develop a system that can analyse images
containing handwritten digits and accurately identify the digit depicted. The system will

Chapter 3: Project/Work Details 6

 Practical Training Report (B.E.)

take an image as input and output the corresponding digit label (0-9). To achieve this, a
deep learning model will be trained on a large dataset of labelled handwritten digit
images, enabling the system to learn the characteristic patterns of each digit and recognize
them effectively.

3.2 Development Process

Under the mentorship of senior data scientists, the development process followed agile
methodologies, with an emphasis on iterative development, continuous integration, and
regular feedback cycles. Team members collaborated closely using communication tools
such as Slack, conducting regular stand-up meetings, sprint planning sessions, and code
reviews to ensure alignment with project goals and timelines.

3.3 Key Features

The project focuses on building a Handwritten Digit Recognition (HDR) system capable
of identifying and numbers from images. Here's a breakdown of the system's
functionalities:

3.3.1 Functionality Overview

• Decipher unclear digits: The system goes beyond perfectly formed digits,
aiming to recognize even unclear or messy handwriting.

• Automate number recognition in photos: Identify large quantities of numbers

within photographs, a task tedious or impractical for humans.

• Discover hidden digits: Uncover numbers embedded within images that might
be difficult to spot with the naked eye.

3.3.2 System Workflow

Regardless of the input method, the system follows a consistent workflow:

Chapter 3: Project/Work Details 8

 Practical Training Report (B.E.)

• Development Environment: Google Colab with Python as the programming

language.

• Data Access: Google Drive is mounted within the project for dataset access using
Pandas.

• Data Preprocessing: Data is divided into separate DataFrames for features and
labels. Normalization with Keras reduces training time.

• Training/Testing Split: Sklearn's model_selection library is used to create

training and testing datasets.

• Neural Network Architecture: A seven-layer neural network is built using Keras

models and layers.

• Model Training: Keras optimizers, metrics, and TensorFlow power the training
process on the designated dataset.

• Model Evaluation: The trained model's performance is assessed using the testing
dataset.

• User Input: OpenCV's cv2.imread reads the user's image and converts it to
grayscale (28x28 pixels).

• Prediction: NumPy converts the image to an array, which is fed into the neural
network for digit prediction.

3.4 Deployment on Google Drive

To ensure the HDR system's accessibility and functionality, a remote deployment
approach is employed:

• While Colab isn't a traditional deployment platform, it offers several options for
sharing and running your trained model:

o Colab Notebooks: Share your notebook publicly (with limitations) or

restrict access for team collaboration.

Chapter 3: Project/Work Details 9

 Practical Training Report (B.E.)

o Colab Sharing: Utilize Colab Sharing to create a sharable link to your

notebook, allowing others to run it without code modification.

o Model Serialization: Save your trained model using tools like

TensorFlow SavedModel or Keras HDF5 format. This allows you to
export the model for potential deployment on other platforms in the
future.

• Leveraging Colab's Advantages: This project thrives in a Colab environment due

to its:

o Online Nature: Accessible from any device with a web browser.

o Collaboration Features: Facilitate teamwork and real-time code

sharing.

o Pre-configured Libraries: Streamlines setup with pre-installed libraries

for machine learning and data science tasks.

o Free GPU Support (Optional): Access to powerful GPUs can

significantly accelerate training for larger datasets (availability may
vary).

By separating and strategically deploying the different parts of the system, we ensure a
robust, accessible, and user-friendly Handwritten Digit Recognition experience.
