(c)

Figure for Processing Example : (a) Template & candidate image (b)
Template matching algoithm (c) Recognize digit image
02 Motivation

Traditional methods often struggle to handle various fonts, styles, and

01 handwriting.

02 To minimize human error, inefficiencies and inaccuracies.

03 Ensuring accurate digit extraction and interpretation,

03 Applications
• Numeric entries in forms filled up by hand
• Processing bank check amounts
• Room Number
04 Methodology
Template
Input image normalize by size
Candidate(digit)

Convert images to grayscale.

Convert to binary using Otsu's thresholds

Complement Binary Images

Calculate Candidate Mean

NCC Loop

Find Best Match

Visualize result by rectangle box

 05 Process Example - 1

Fig 1: Read RGB image and convert Fig 2: Convert gray to binary and Fig 3: Display the current template,
to grayscale image take the complement of binary candidate and best match

In conclusion, the code demonstrates a basic implementation of digit recognition using the NCC
technique.
Merits of NCC:
• Easy to understand and implement.
• Effective for finding patterns.
• Clear interpretation of results.
• Doesn't need extensive training.
Conclusion
Demerits of NCC:
• Can be slow for large images.
• Only good for exact or near-exact matches.
• Affected by similar patterns in the background.
• Challenging to set accurate thresholds.
• Struggles with noise, and variations.
