MATLAB: Recognizing digits from neural networks

Question

I am doing a project to read digits from a calculator screen. To recognize the digits, I intend to use neural networks. I have to train the network first with about 10 or more sample images of all digits(0 to 9) and then go on to identify them. Can anybody suggest how to input the training images into the neural network and in what format? I know the basic concept of neural networks but cannot implement it in a situation like this.

Answer 1

input =image(:); % columnize

Thanks for formally accepting my answer
