Title A name given to the resource Approach for Preprocessing in offline Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Subject The topic of the resource Binarization; Image correction; Image enhancement; Preprocessing; Segmentation; Thinning Description An account of the resource offline optical character recognition (offline OCR) is one of the important applications of pattern recognition. To achieve a better recognition result, the input character images must have good quality. That is why the preprocessing step be-comes essential for any image identification task. Lots of research has been performed in numerous jobs towards this preprocessing in the literature. Here, an attempt has been made to summarize different procedures and aspects of preprocessing adopted in implementing these preprocessing techniques. This is done in the hope that this may help the research community towards the gaining of knowledge of different preprocessing techniques used in offline OCR. offline OCR has several applications, such as old manuscript digitization, signature authentication, bank cheque automatic clearance and postal letter sorting, etc. Finally, an overall summary in a concise way has been presented based on different preprocessing techniques used in offline OCR. 2022 IEEE.
