You can master Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV - PyImageSearch
I publish a brand new Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and OpenCV tutorial every Monday at 10AM EST. Here you'll find my most recent tutorials and guides.
When an image is increased in size (spatially, along the width and height), the conventional methods lead to new pixel information getting created which often degrades the image quality giving a soft and blurry image as output. Thankfully, as with…

In this blog post, I sit down with Raul Garcia-Martin, a PhD candidate in Biometric Recognition at the University Carlos III of Madrid. Raul’s work focuses on identifying individual people by their biometrics. You’re likely already familiar with the most…

Given that we can detect the writing system of the text, it raises the question: Is it possible to translate text from one language to another using OCR and Tesseract? To learn how to translate languages using Tesseract and Python,…

This post covers the intuition of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) at a high level, the various GAN variants, and applications for solving real-world problems. This is the first post of a GAN tutorial series: Intro to Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)…

In our previous tutorial, you learned how to OCR only digits from an input image. But what if you wanted to obtain more fine-grained control on the character filtering process? For example, when building an invoicing application, you may want…

In a previous tutorial, we implemented our very first OCR project. We saw that Tesseract worked well on some images but returned total nonsense for other examples. Part of being a successful OCR practitioner is learning that when you see…

The first time I ever used the Tesseract optical character recognition (OCR) engine was in my college undergraduate years. I was taking my first course on computer vision. Our professor wanted us to research a challenging computer vision topic for…

In this tutorial, we will configure our development environment for OCR. Once your machine is configured, we’ll start writing Python code to perform OCR, paving the way for you to develop your own OCR applications. To learn how to configure…

Optical character recognition, or OCR for short, is used to describe algorithms and techniques (both electronic and mechanical) to convert images of text to machine-encoded text. We typically think of OCR in terms of software. Namely, these are systems that:…
