I've been testing tesseract-ocr for an open-source project I am doing. I want users to be able to take a picture of a grave, try to recover the birth/death info and maybe the name, but then ask them to correct the information if wrong.
The issue is Grave Markers are not a common font, common color, or shape. Some zoning and image manipulation must occur before OCR can even be done. Does anyone have any concept of this? Would anyone like to toy with this idea for a bit? Here are some example grave markers you could grab today: http://image2.findagrave.com/photos/2013/172/88552025_137193683625.jpg http://image2.findagrave.com/photos/2013/246/116541132_137832680677.jpg http://image2.findagrave.com/photos/2011/241/31714236_131474280838.jpg Maybe in the process we could users manually zone the text areas in some way. Does anyone have any ideas? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
