MATLAB: Character recognition

digital image processingocroptical character recognition

Which is the best method for character recognition? I mean which method would you use for comparison? and it should work perfectly for all inputs.
I used correlation to compare between images and I am not quite satisfied with it. Give me some other best method for character recognition. What do you think about bayes classifier and neural networks?

Best Answer

The best method depends on the particular data set.
I have had very good results with neural networks. A newsgroup search using
heath character recognition
should find my code.
Be sure to add noise to the images and characterize your performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio.
Hope this helps.
