MATLAB: Ocr problem

image processingocr

jan this is the code for read_letter
function letter=read_letter(imagn,num_letras)
  % Computes the correlation between template and input image
  % and its output is a string containing the letter.
  % Size of 'imagn' must be 42 x 24 pixels
  % Example:
  % imagn=imread('D.bmp');
  % letter=read_letter(imagn)
  global templates
  comp=[ ];
  for n=1:num_letras
      sem=corr2(templates{1,n},imagn);
      comp=[comp sem];
  end
  vd=find(comp==max(comp));

  if vd==1
      letter='A';

Best Answer

Check out this similar problem. Instead of having so much else ifs, do a conversion of a number to string. That is, 'A' is a 65, so, you can say letter=num2str(sv+64). In this case, if sv=1, the sum is 65 and if you do number-to-string conversion you will get an 'A'. Notice, for numbers,if you can encode the '0' as vd==27 and '9' as vd==35, it will be easier to code.
