Popis: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) research includes computer vision, artificial intelligence, and pattern recognition. Character recognition has garnered a lot of attention in the last decade due to its broad variety of uses and applications, including multiple-choice test data, business documents (e.g., ID cards, bank notes, passports, etc.), and automatic number plate recognition. This paper introduces an automatic recognition system for printed numerals. The automatic reading system is based on extracting local statistical and geometrical features from the text image. Those features are represented by eight vectors extracted from each digit. Two of these features are local statistical (A, A th), and six are local geometrical (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6). Thus, the database created consists of 1120 statistical and geometrical features. For the purpose of recognition, the features of the test image are compared with the features of all the images saved in the database depending on the value of the Minimum Distance (MD). All digits (0–9) were identified with 100% accuracy. The average computational time required to recognize a numeral at any font size is 0.06879 seconds.
