Optical Character Recognition

• Image Thresholding
• Contour formation
• Detecting individual characters and forming a Region of Image (ROI) around detected characters.
• Passing the ROIs through our trained model and finding out the predicted character
• Saving/Appending this character in a string, which is basically going to be your output.

Happy Learning!!!
