Optical character recognization word
1. OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNIZATION
STAGE 1
1.INTRODUCTION:
In the running world, there is going demand for the software systemto recognize characters
in computer system when information is scanned through paper documents as we know
that we have number of newspapers and books which are in printed format related to
different subjects. These days there is a huge demand in “storing the information available
in these paper documents in to a computer storage disk and then later reusing this
information be searching process”. One simply way to store information in these paper
document in to computer systemis to first scan the documents and then store them as
IMAGES. But to reuse this information it is very difficult to read the individual contents and
searching the contents from these documents line-by-line and word-by-word. The reason
for this difficulty is the font characteristics of the character in paper document are different
to font of the character in computer system. As a result , computer is unable to recognize
the characters while reading them. This concept of storing the contents of paper documents
in computer storage place and then reading and searching the content is called DOCUMENT
PROCESSING . Sometimes in this document processing we need to process the information
that is related to languages other than the English in the world. For this document
processing we need a software systemcalled CHARACTER RECOGNITION SYSTEM. This
process is also called DOCUMENT IMAGE ANALYSIS(DIA).
Thus our need is to develop character recognition software system to perform Document
image Analysis which transforms documents in paper format to electronic format. For this
process there are various techniques in the world. Among all those techniques we have
chosen OCR as main fundamental techniques to recognize characters. The conversion of
paper documents in to electronic format is an on-going task in many of the organizations
particularly in Research and Development area, in large business enterprises, in government
institutions, so on. From our problem statement we can introduce the necessity of OCR in
mobile electronic devices such as cell phones, digital cameras to acquire images and
recognize them as a part of face recognition and validation.
2. To effectively use OCR for character recognition in-order to perform Document Image
Analysis(DIA), we are using the information in Grid format. This system is thus effective and
useful in virtual Digital Library’s design and construction.
1.1 PURPOSE:
The main purpose of OCR systembased on a grid infrastructure is to perform Document
image analysis, document processing of electronic document formats more effectively and
efficiently. This improves the accuracy of recognizing the characters during document
processing compared various existing available character recognition methods. Here OCR
technique derives the meaning of the characters , their font properties from their bit-
mapped images.
The primary objective is to speed up the process of character recognition in document
processing. As a result the systemcan process huge number of documents with-in less
time and hence saves the time.
Since our character recognition is based on a grid infrastructure, it aims to recognize
multiple heterogeneous characters that belong to different universal languages with
different font properties and alignments.
1.2 PROJECT SCOPE:
The scope of our product OCR on a grid infrastructure is to provide an efficient and
enhanced software tool for the users to perform
A) Abstract:
1. Optical Character Recognition software written in Java
2. …uses KNN classifier
3. …uses Open-CV image processing modules.
4. OCR is the recognition of printed or written text characters by a computer.
5. This involves scanning of the text char-by-char, analysis of the scanned-in
image, and then translation of the char image to char codes.
3. B)Existing System:
In the running world there is a growing demand for the users to convert the printed
documents in to electronic documents for maintaining the security of their data. Hence the
basic OCR systemwas invented to convert the data available on papers in to computer
process able documents, So that the documents can be editable and reusable. The existing
system/the previous system of OCR on a grid infrastructure is just OCR without grid
functionality. That is the existing systemdeals with the homogeneous character recognition
or character recognition of single languages.
I. Existing System Dis-advantages:
The drawback in the early OCR systemis that they only capability to convert and recognize
only the documents of English are specific language only. That is, the older OCR System uni-
lingual.
Character must be hand-printed with separate character in boxes.
C) Proposedsystem:
Proposed system makes use of the camera
A scanner is not mandatory to scan the document
Built-in camera of the laptop can be used to capture images.
Camera can also be attached externally to a desktop /laptop computer.
Works equally well with scanned documents.
Proposed system works even with Hand written documents.
Works equally well with printed documents/ brochures/ books.
4. I. Architecture of the Proposed System:
The Architecture of the optical character recognition System on a grid infrastructure
consists of the main components. They are
Scanner
OCR Hardware or Software
Output Interfaces.
II. Advantages of Proposed System:
The benefit of proposed systemthat overcomes the drawback of the existing
system is that is supports multiple functionalities such as ending and searching.
If also adds benefits by providing heterogeneous character recognition.

STAGE 2:
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS
2.1 information gathering
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
The problem here is for the software systems to recognize characters in computer system
when information is scanned through paper documents as we know that we have number
of newspapers and books which are in printed format related to different subjects.
Whenever we scan the documents through the scanner, the documents are stored as
images such as jpeg, gif etc., in the computer system. These images cannot be read or
edited by the user. But to reuse this information it is very difficult to read the individual
7. contents and searching the contents form these documents line-by-line and word-by-word.
These days there is a huge demand in “storing the information available in these paper
documents in to a computer storage disk and then later editing or reusing this information
by searching process”.
2.2 MODULES AND THEIR FUNCTIONALITIES
Our software systemOptical Character Recognition on a grid infrastructure can be
divided into five modules based on its functionality.The modules classified are as follows:-
Document Processing Module
System Training Module.
Document Recognition Module.
Document Editing Module and
Document Searching Module.
2.2.1 DOCUMENT PROCESSING MODULE
This module is accessed by administrator whose role in our application is a librarian.This
module perform certain activities such as scanning documents, storing them as images,
recognizing characters in images to transfer them into word format. During the recognition
process, this module uses the OCR methodology in support of grid infrastructure data
structure. The module supports the following services:-
Scanning printed documents.
Storing the documents as snapshots or images.
Processing those image-based documents.
8. Converting these image-based documents into e-documents(also called structured
documents).
Recognizing the characters in documents.
Generating grid infrastructure data structure.
2.2.2 SYSTEM TRAINING MODULE
This module can be accessed by both the administrator and the end-user. Before
converting the printed documents in to editable and searchable documents, the first and
the mandatory step is providing training to the system. Here training in the sense the font
followed in the scanned document should be identified by the user. Then the user types all
the characters that are required for recognition from the scanned document as an image
file. This image file should be provided as an input during the training process. The user then
clicks the train button provided in the recognition module. Then the training gets
completed. Thus the system gets familiar with the new font. This module supports:-
Training the systemwith the pre-defined fonts.
Training the systemwith the new fonts that are not present in the system and that
cannot be identified by the system.
2.2.3 DOCUMENT RECOGNITION MODULE
This module can be accessed by both the administrator and the end-user. Once the
printed documents are converted into structured documents, any user can recognize the
characters present in the document. That means the user can recognize the characters of
any language he chooses which makes OCR more flexible. This flexibility is due to the
adaptation of grid infrastructure. This is the module where the main functionality of OCR is
tested.
9. Under this module, there are two types of recognition. They are handwritten recognition
and scanned document recognition.
In handwritten recognition, the handwriting of the user in any language is trained to the
system only for the first time. From there on-wards, the system recognizes the characters or
words written by the user. Thus handwritten document recognition recognizes the human
handwriting.
In scanned document recognition, the systemis first trained with the font characters in the
document in the training module itself. Now in the recognition module, the system takes
the scanned documents image as an input file, first crops the image and then
extracts/recognizes the characters from the document and makes these documents editable
and searchable. Thus the scanned document recognition recognizes the characters from the
scanned document image and makes the document editable and searchable. Hence the
document recognition module on a whole supports the following services:-
Converts the document into specific format
Recognizes the characters
Heterogeneous character Recognition
2.2.4 DOCUMENT EDITING MODULE
This module can be accessed by both the administrator and the end-user during
document editing to implement the character recognition process. Once the scanned
documents are stored, they reside in computer memory. This data resides in the form of an
image that is just view able in an image viewer. Hence, the document is first converted into
a form such that it is editable. The desired form of the document may be MS-Word,Text,… as
specified by the user.The objective of this module is to let the user perform :-
Addition of specific content to the documents
Deletion of certain content from documents
10. Any other modification of documents.
2.2.5 DOCUMENT SEARCHING MODULE
This module can be accessed by both the administrator and the end-user during the
search of the user required document to implement the character recogniiton process on it.
The user requests the systemto search for a particular document. Then the system finds the
documents based on OCR methodology and returns the result of the search to the user.The
main objective of this module is :-
To facilitate the search function.

Project Analysis
LITERATURE SURVEY /REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
INTRODUCTION
A feasibility study is a high-level capsule version of the entire System analysis and Design
Process. The study begins by classifying the problem definition. Feasibility is to determine if
it’ s worth doing. Once an acceptance problem definition has been generated, the analyst
develops a logical model of the system. A search for alternatives is analyzed carefully. There
are 3 parts in feasibility study.
12. 3.1 FEASIBILITY STUDY:
A feasibility study is a high- level capsule version of the entire system analysis and
design process. The study begins by classifying the problem definition. Feasibility is to
determine if it’s worth doing. Once an acceptance problem definition has been generated,
the analyst develops a logical model of the system. A search for alternatives is analyzed
carefully.
There are 3 parts of feasibility study.
1. Technical feasibility
2. Operational feasibility
3. Economical feasibility
1. Technical Feasibility:
Evaluating the technical feasibility is the trickiest part of a feasibility study. This is
because, at the point in time,not too many detailed design of the system,making if difficult
to access issues like performances, costs on etc. A number of issues have to be considered
while doing a technical analysis. Understand the different technologies involved in the
proposed systembefore commencing the we have to be very clear about what are the
technologies that are to be required for the development of the new system. Find out
whether the recognition currently process the required technologies. Is the required
technologies available with the organization?.
2. Operational Feasibility:
Proposed project is beneficial only if it can be turned into information systemthat will
meet the organization operating requirements. Simply stated, this test of feasibility asks if
the system will work when it is developed and installed. Are there major barriers to
Implementation? Here are questions that will help test the operational feasibility of a
project.
Is there sufficient support for the project from management from users? If the
current systemis well liked and used to the extent that person will
13. Are the current business methods acceptable to the user? If they are not. Users may
welcome a change that will bring about a more operational and useful systems.
Have the user been in the planning and development of the project?
Early involvement reduces the chances of resistance to the systemand in general
and increase the successful project.
Since the proposed systemwas to help reduces the hardship encountered. In the
existing manual system, the new systemwas considered to be operational feasible.
3.Economic Feasibility:
Economic feasibility attempts to weigh the costs of developing and implementing a
new system,against the benefits that would having the new system in place. This feasibility
study gives the top management the economic justification for the new system. A simple
economic analysis which gives the actual comparison of costs and benefits are much more
meaningful in this case. In addition,this proves to be a useful point of reference to compare
actual costs as the project progress. There could be various types of intangible benefits on
account of automation. These could include increased customer satisfaction,improvement
in product quality better decision making timeliness of information,expediting activities,
improved accuracy of operation, better documentation and record keeping,faster retrieval
of information,better employee morale.
3.4 TRAINING
Training is a very important process of working with a neural network. As seen from neural
networks, there are two forms of training that can be employed with a neural network. They
are namely:-
1. Un-Supervised Training
2. Supervised Training
14. Supervised training provides the neural network with training sets and the anticipated
output. Unsupervised training supplies the neural network with training sets, but there is
no anticipated output provided
3.4.1 UNSUPERVISED TRAINING:
Unsupervised training is a very common training technique for Kohonen neural networks.
We will discuss how to construct a Kohonen neural network and the general process for
training without supervision.
What is meant by training without supervision is that the neural network is provided with
training sets, which are collections of defined input values. But the unsupervised neural
network is not provided with anticipated outputs.
Unsupervised training is usually used in a classification neural network. A classification
neural network takes input patterns, which are presented to the input neurons. These input
patterns are then processed, and one single neuron on the output layer fires. This firing
neuron can be thought of as the classification of which group the neural input pattern
belonged to. Handwriting recognition is a good application of a classification neural
network.
The input patterns presented to the Kohonen neural network are the dot image of the
character that was hand written. We may then have 26 output neurons, which correspond
to the 26 letters of the English alphabet. The Kohonen neural network should classify the
input pattern into one of the 26 input patterns.
During the training process the Kohonen neural network in handwritten recognition is
presented with 26 input patterns. The network is configured to also have 26 output
patterns. As the Kohonen neural network is trained the weights should be adjusted so that
the input patterns are classified into the 26 output neurons. This technique results in a
relatively effective method for character recognition.
15. Another common application for unsupervised training is data mining. In this case you
have a large amount of data, but you do not often know exactly what you are looking for.
You want the neural network to classify this data into several groups. You do not want to
dictate, ahead of time, to the neural network which input pattern should be classified to
which group. As the neural network trains the input patterns will fall into similar groups.
This will allow you to see which input patterns were in common groups.
3.4.2 SUPERVISED TRAINING:
The supervised training method is similar to the unsupervised training method in that
training sets are provided. Just as with unsupervised training these training sets specify
input signals to the neural network.
The primary difference between supervised and unsupervised training is that in
supervised training the expected outputs are provided. This allows the supervised training
algorithm to adjust the weight matrix based on the difference between the anticipated
output of the neural network, and the actual output.
There are several popular training algorithms that make use of supervised training. One
of the most common is the back-propagation algorithm. It is also possible to use an
algorithm such as simulated annealing or a genetic algorithm to implement supervised
training.
3.5 INTRODUCING KOHONEN NEURAL NETWORK
The Kohonen neural network differs considerably from the feed-forward back propagation
neural network. The Kohonen neural network differs both in how it is trained and how it
recalls a pattern. The Kohonen neural network does not use any sort of activation function.
Further, the Kohonen neural network does not use any sort of a bias weight.
Output from the Kohonen neural network does not consist of the output of several
neurons. When a pattern is presented to a Kohonen network one of the output neurons is
16. selected as a "winner". This "winning" neuron is the output from the Kohonen network.
Often these "winning" neurons represent groups in the data that is presented to the
Kohonen network. For example, in an OCR program that uses 26 output neurons, the 26
output neurons map the input patterns into the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet.
The most significant difference between the Kohonen neural network and the feed
forward back propagation neural network is that the Kohonen network trained in an
unsupervised mode. This means that the Kohonen network is presented with data, but the
correct output that corresponds to that data is not specified. Using the Kohonen network
this data can be classified into groups. We will begin our review of the Kohonen network by
examining the training process.
It is also important to understand the limitations of the Kohonen neural network. Neural
networks with only two layers can only be applied to linearly separable problems. This is the
case with the Kohonen neural network. Kohonen neural networks are used because they
are a relatively simple network to construct that can be trained very rapidly.
A "feed forward" neural network is similar to the types of neural networks that we are
ready examined. Just like many other neural network types the feed forward neural
network begins with an input layer. This input layer must be connected to a hidden layer.
This hidden layer can then be connected to another hidden layer or directly to the output
layer. There can be any number of hidden layers so long as at least one hidden layer is
provided. In common use most neural networks will have only one hidden layer. It is very
rare for a neural network to have more than two hidden layers. We will now examine, in
detail, and the structure of a "feed forward neural network".
The Structure of a Feed Forward Neural Network
A "feed forward" neural network differs from the neural networks previously examined.
Figure 3.1 shows a typical feed forward neural network with a single hidden layer.
17. Figure.3.1
The Input Layer
The input layer to the neural network is the conduct through which the external
environment presents a pattern to the neural network. Once a pattern is presented to the
input layer of the neural network the output layer will produce another pattern. In essence
this is all the neural network does. The input layer should represent the condition for which
we are training the neural network for. Every input neuron should represent some
independent variable that has an influence over the output of the neural network.
It is important to remember that the inputs to the neural network are floating point
numbers. These values are expressed as the primitive Java data type "double". This is not to
say that you can only process numeric data with the neural network. If you wish to process a
form of data that is non-numeric you must develop a process that normalizes this data to a
numeric representation.
18. The Output Layer
The output layer of the neural network is what actually presents a pattern to the external
environment. Whatever patter is presented by the output layer can be directly traced back
to the input layer. The number of a output neurons should directly related to the type of
work that the neural network is to perform.
To consider the number of neurons to use in your output layer you must consider the
intended use of the neural network. If the neural network is to be used to classify items into
groups, then it is often preferable to have one output neurons for each groups that the item
is to be assigned into. If the neural network is to perform noise reduction on a signal then it
is likely that the number of input neurons will match the number of output neurons. In this
sort of neural network you would one day he would want the patterns to leave the neural
network in the same format as they entered.
For a specific example of how to choose the numbers of input and output neurons consider
a program that is used for optical character recognition, or OCR. To determine the number
of neurons used for the OCR example we will first consider the input layer. The number of
input neurons that we will use is the number of pixels that might represent any given
character. Characters processed by this program are normalized to universal size that is
represented by a 5x7 grid. A 5x7 grid contains a total of 35 pixels. The optical character
recognition program therefore has 35 input neurons.
The number of output neurons used by the OCR program will vary depending on how many
characters the program has been trained for. The default training file that is provided with
the optical character recognition program is trained to recognize 26 characters. As a result
using this file the neural network would have 26 output neurons. Presenting a pattern to the
input neurons will fire the appropriate output neuron that corresponds to the letter that the
input pattern corresponds to.
19. 3.5.1 HOWA KOHONEN NETWORKRECOGNIZES
We will now show you how the Kohonen neural network recognizes a pattern. We will
begin by examining the structure of the Kohonen neural network. Once you understand the
structure of the Kohonen neural network, and how it recognizes patterns, you will be shown
how to train the Kohonen neural network to properly recognize the patterns you desire. We
will begin by examining the structure of the Kohonen neural network.
3.5.2 THE STRUCTURE OF THE KOHONEN NEURAL NETWORK
The Kohonen neural network works differently than the feed forward neural network.
The Kohonen neural network contains only an input and output layer of neurons. There is
no hidden layer in a Kohonen neural network. First we will examine the input and output to
a Kohonen neural network.
The input to a Kohonen neural network is given to the neural network using the input
neurons. These input neurons are each given the floating point numbers that make up the
input pattern to the network. A Kohonen neural network requires that these inputs be
normalized to the range between -1 and 1. Presenting an input pattern to the network will
cause a reaction from the output neurons.
The output of a Kohonen neural network is very different from the output of a feed
forward neural network. If we had a neural network with five output neurons we would be
given an output that consisted of five values. This is not the case with the Kohonen neural
network. In a Kohonen neural network only one of the output neurons actually produces a
value. Additionally, this single value is either true or false. When the pattern is presented to
the Kohonen neural network, one single output neuron is chosen as the output neuron.
Therefore, the output from the Kohonen neural network is usually the index of the neuron
(i.e. Neuron #5) that fired. The structure of a typical Kohonen neural network is shown in
Figure 3.2
20. Figure.3.2
Now that you understand the structure of the Kohonen neural network we will examine
how the network processes information.
3.5.3 HOWA KOHONEN NETWORKLEARNS
In this section you will learn to train a Kohonen neural network. There are several steps
involved in this training process. Overall the process for training a Kohonen neural network
involves stepping through several epochs until the error of the Kohonen neural network is
below acceptable level. In this section we will learn these individual processes.
We will also learn how to calculate the error rate for Kohonen neural network, you'll
learn how to adjust the weights for each epoch. You will also learn to determine when no
more epochs are necessary to further train the neural network.
21. The training process for the Kohonen neural network is competitive. For each training set
one neuron will "win". This winning neuron will have its weight adjusted so that it will react
even more strongly to the input the next time. As different neurons win for different
patterns, their ability to recognize that particular pattern will be increased.
We will first examine the overall process involving training the Kohonen neural network.
These individual steps are summarized in figure 3.3

4.SOFTWARE DESIGN
4.1 Data Flow Diagram
The DFD is also called as bubble chart. A data flow diagram(DFD) is a graphical
representation of the”flow”of the data through information system. DFD’s can also be used
for the visualization of data processing. The flow of data in our systemcan be described in
the form of data flow diagram as follows:-
1. First,if the user is administrator he can initialize the following actions:-
Documentation processing
Document search
Document editing
All the above action come under 2 cases. They described as follows:-
a) If the printed document is a new document that is not yet read into the system,then the
document processing phase reads the scanned document as image only and then produces
the document image stored in computer memory as a result. Now the document processing
phase has the document at its hand and can read the document at any point of time. Later
the document processing phase proceeds with recognizing the document using OCR
methodology and the grid infrastructures. Thus it produces the document with the
recognized character as final output which can be later searched and edited by the end-user
or administrator.
b)If the printed document is already scanned in and is held in systemmemory,then the
document processing phase proceeds with document recognition using OCR methodology
and grid infrastructure. And thus it finally produces the document with recognized
document as output.
23. 2. If the user using the OCR systemis the end-user,then he can perform the following
actions:-
Document searching
Document editing
1. Document searching:- The document which are recognized can be searched by the user
whenever required by requesting the system database.
2. Document Editing:- The recognized document can be edited by adding the specific
content to the document,deleting specific content from the document and modifying the
document.

UML combines best techniques from data modeling (ER Diagrams),business
modeling(work flows),object modeling,and component modeling. It can be used
with all process, throughout the software development life cycle,and across
different implementation technologies. UML has 14 types of diagram divided into 2
categories. 7 diagrams types represent structural information,and the other seven
represent general types of behavior,including four that represent different aspects
of interactions. Some of these diagrams we provided to describe the design and

Our software systemcan be used to support library environment to create a Digital
library where several paper documents are converted into electronic-form for accessing
by the users. For this purpose the printed document must be recognized before they are
converted into electronic-form. The resulting electronic-documents are accessed by the
users like faculty and students for reading and coding. Now according to this
information,the following are the different actors involved in implementing our OCR
systems.
If we consider for virtual digital library,the Administrators can be Librarian and the
End-user can be students or/and faculty.

Among all these classes the MainScreen is the main class that represent all the major
functions carried out by our OCR system. The MainScreen class has an association with five
classes viz…..,Editor, HelpFrame, Document, TrainingSet, PrintedFrame. And the TrainingSet
class in-turn has an association with the HEntry and the KohonenNetwork classes. The
PrintedFrame has an association with the Entry and KohonenNetwork classes.

SEQUENCE DIAGRAMS
Sequence diagram are sometimes called Event-trace diagram,event scenarios ,and timing
diagrams. A sequence diagram shows,as parallel vertical lines,different processes or objects
that live simultaneously,and,as horizontal arrows,the messages exchanged between them,in
the order in which they occur. This allows the specifications of simple runtime scenarios in a
graphical manner.
In sequence diagram,the class object that are used to describe the interaction between
various classes vary from one function to another function. There are five sequence
diagrams short-listed below for presenting the sequence of actions performed by each of
33. the five modules. The key class object involved in all of these module functions is
MainScreen class which controls the interaction among various class objects.

4.2.4 COLLABORATION DIAGRAM
A Collaboration diagram also known as Communication diagram models the interactions
between objects or parts in terms of sequenced messages. Communication diagrams show
which elements each one interacts with better, but sequence diagrams show the order in
which the interactions take place more clearly.
The collaboration diagram is same as sequence diagram in its function implementation
but the presentation or structure of the classes differs. The class objects that are used to
define the relationships between the classes are same as that of the sequence diagram.
Hence collaboration diagramalso has five collaboration diagrams describing each of the five
modules. In this diagram also the MainScreen acts as the key class object.

STAGE 6:
6.TESTING
The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of trying to discover
every conceivable fault or weakness in a work product. It provides a way to check the
functionality of components, sub assemblies, assemblies and/or a finished product. It is the
process of exercising software with the intent of ensuring that the software system meets
its requirements and user expectations and does not fail in an unacceptable manner. There
are various types of test. Each test type addresses a specific testing requirement.
6.1 TYPES OF TESTS
Unit Testing
Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal program logic
is functioning properly, and that program input produces valid outputs. All decision
branches and internal code flow should be validated. It is the testing of individual software
units of the application .it is done after the completion of an individual unit before
integration. This is a structural testing, that relies on knowledge of its construction and is
invasive. Unit tests perform basic tests at component level and test a specific business
process, application, and/or system configuration. Unit tests ensure that each unique path
of a business process performs accurately to the documented specifications and contains
clearly defined inputs and expected results.
Integration Testing
49. Integration tests are designed to test integrated software components to determine if
they actually run as one program. Testing is event driven and is more concerned with the
basic outcome of screens or fields. Integration tests demonstrate that although the
components were individually satisfaction, as shown by successfully unit testing, the
combination of components is correct and consistent. Integration testing is specifically
aimed at exposing the problems that arise from the combination of components.
System Testing
System testing ensures that the entire integrated software system meets requirements. It
tests a configuration to ensure known and predictable results. An example of system testing
is the configuration oriented system integration test. System testing is based on process
descriptions and flows, emphasizing Pre-driven process links and integration points.
Functional Testing
Functional tests provide a systematic demonstration that functions tested are available
as specified by the business and technical requirements, system documentation, and user
manuals.
Functional testing is centered on the following items:
Valid Input : identified classes of valid input must be accepted.
Invalid Input : identified classes of invalid input must be rejected.
Functions : identified functions must be exercised.
Output : identified classes of application outputs must be exercised.
Systems/Procedures : interfacing systems or procedures must be invoked.
Organization and preparation of functional tests is focused on requirements, key
functions, or special test cases. In addition, systematic coverage pertaining to identify
business process flows, data fields, predefined processes, and successive processes must be
considered for testing. Before functional testing is complete, additional tests are identified
and the effective value of current tests is determined.
50. There are two basic approaches of functional testing:
a. Black box or functional testing.
b. White box testing or structural testing.
(a) Black box testing
This method is used when knowledge of the specified function that a product has been
design to perform is known. The concept of black box is used to represent a system hose
inside working’ s are not available to inspection. In a black box the test item is eaten as
“Black”, since its logic is unknown is what goes in and what comes out, or the input and
output.
In black box testing, we try various inputs and examine the resulting outputs. The black
box testing can also be used for scenarios based test .In this test we verify whether it is
taking valid input and producing resultant out to user. It is imaginary box testing that hides
internal workings. In our project valid input is image resultant output well structured image
should be received.
Input output
Figure 6.1
(b) White box testing
White box testing is concern with testing implementation of the program. The intent of
structural testing is not to exercise all the inputs or outputs but to exercise the different
programming and data structures used in the program. Thus structure testing aims to
achieve test cases that will force the desire coverage of different structures. Two types of
path testing are:
1. Statement testing
51. 2. Branch testing
Statement Testing
The main idea of statement testing coverage is to test every statement in the objects
method by executing it at least once. However, realistically, it is impossible to test program
on every single input, so you never can be sure that a program will not fail on some input.
Branch Testing
The main idea behind branch testing coverage is to perform enough tests to ensure that
every branch alternative has been executed at least once under some test. As in statement
testing coverage, it is unfeasible to fully test any program of considerable size.
Input Output
Figure 6.2
6.2 UNIT TESTING
Unit testing is usually conducted as part of a combined code and unit test phase of the
software life-cycle, although it is not uncommon for coding and unit testing to be conducted
as two distinct phases.
Test strategy and approach
Field testing will be performed manually and functional tests will be written in detail.
Test objectives
All field entries must work properly.
INTERNAL
WORKING
52. Pages must be activated from the identified link.
The entry screen, messages and responses must not be delayed.
Features to be tested
Verify that the entries are of the correct format.
No duplicate entries should be allowed.
All links should take the user to the correct page.
6.3 INTEGRATION TESTING
Software integration testing is the incremental integration testing of two or more
integrated software components on a single platform to produce failures caused by
interface defects.
The task of the integration test is to check that components or software applications, ex.
components in a software system or one step up software applications at the company level
- interact without error.
Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects
encountered.
6.4 ACCEPTANCE TESTING
User Acceptance Testing is a critical phase of any project and requires significant
participation by the end user. It also ensures that the systemmeets the functional
requirements.
Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects
encountered.
53. STAGE 7:
7. SCREENSHOTS
OUTPUT SCREENS
The following shows the series of output screens and how the actual process of
implementing OCR takes place:-
The first and the home page of our OCR systemlooks as shown in below figure provides
an interface to the user such that the user can access any module that is present in this
software in this software from this page itself. The page is as shown below:-
7.1 Main Screen
54. There are two types of recognition in the document recognition module. They are
handwrtitten letter recognition and the scanned document recognition. The
implementation of the handwritten document recognition proceeds as follows:-
Firstly suppose that we have drawn a letter named ‘ A’ in the workspace provided.
Hand Written Screen1
From the above screen we can write letters on the workspace provided with the name
“Draw Letters Here” by using mouse pointer. For recognizing these letters we have to
train the systemfirst. Else, it will give an error message depicting that the systemhas to
be trained first. This process is explained with the following screens:-
55. Hand Written Screen3
Now suppose that you have clicked the “Recognize” button without training, for
recognizing the character you have written and showing the recognized character in the
grid. Then it will display an error message as shown below:-
Hand Written Screen4
56. Now if we click the “Begin Training” button before proceeding with the recognition
then a status message with successful status is shown below:-
Hand Written Screen5
Since the training has been completed, now the letter ‘ A’ can be recognized by clicking
then “Recognize” button. Then the letter ‘ A’ will appear in the grid as output. It is as
shown below:-
57. Hand Written Screen6
Once we have provided training to the systemfor every session, the systemdo not need
any further training for any kind of letter in any kind of language. That is, once the
training is provided to the system for at-least one character then on wards, it will
recognize any character written in the workspace without the need of training it.
For Example, First we have written letter ‘ A’ provided training for it and recognized the
letter A. Now we have written letter S. Now without the need for the training we can
directly recognize the letter ‘ S’ in the grid by clicking the “Recognize” button. Thus we
do not need to train the systemfurther.
58. Hand Written Screen7
Hand Written Screen8
Since we have provided the training to the systemonce with one character of English
language, We can now recognize the characters of any language other than English that
59. too without the need for training. Suppose we have written a telugu character as shown
below:-
Hand Written Screen9
Now we can directly recognize the above telugu character without the need of training
the system. Just click the “Recognize” button once after drawing the letter in the
workspace.
Hand Written Screen 10
60. Next other than providing the training to the system through the drawn letters, we can
also train the system by providing the characters through the keyboard and storing them
as patterns. Later we provide training to the system on those patterns.
Firstly, We provide the input through the keyboard as follows:-
Hand Written Screen11
If we click ok, those letters will be saved in stored patterns workspace. Later we can click
“Begin Training” button such that those stored patterns will be trained to the system.
Else, it will provide an error message depicting that the systemneeds training.
61. Hand Written Screen12
Now suppose that if we write a word ‘ sr’ and click “Recognize” button before
providing training on the above stored pattern ‘ A’ then an error message will be
displayed depicting that the systemneeds to be trained on the stored patterns as shown
below:-
Hand Written Screen13
62. Now click the “Begin Training” button before you attempt to recognize the drawn word
‘ sr’ . Then it produces an output screen as shown below indicating that the training has
been completed:-
Hand Written Screen14
Now if we click the “Recognize” button then the drawn word ‘ sr’ is recognized and is
shown as an output in the grid format by firing the last neuron in stored patterns.
63. Hand written screen15
Since we have provided training on the stored patterns once, from now onwards we can
just draw the characters or words of any language and we can recognize them directly
by clicking the ”Recognize” button without the need for training the system again. An
example is shown for a telugu word.
Hand written screen 16
64. Process Explaining Scanned Document Recognition
Firstly, When we click the “Scanned Document Recognition Button” the main page of
this recognition module is displayed as follows:-
Hand Written screen17
The data that is present in the first text box is the default image file set by the user. The
user can change the input image file rather than the default image file by clicking open
and then selecting an image file. The procedure is as shown below:-
65. Hand written screen18
Hand Written Screen19
There are two main tabs under the scanned document recognition. They are training
and recognition. First we should train the system under training module. Only then we
66. can recognize the characters from the input image provided using the recognition
module. The training tab under scanned document recognition looks like this.
Hand written screen20
The above figure shows the default input image for training. We can change the training
input image for different fonts by opening different input image files and then training
them such that the system gets adapted to the new fonts.
67. Hand written screen21
The choice of opening image file changes the default input image for training in to a new
image as shown below.
Hand written screen22
68. Now the user can select the bounds up to which the systemmust be trained just by
using click and drag actions of the mouse. Then selected data highlights as follows:-
Hand written screen23
After selection of the data, just click the “Train” button. This lets the systemto train itself
with the help of the kohonen network and finally displays a dialog box depicting that the
training has been completed successfully.
69. Hand written screen24
Once the training of the systemis completed, we move on to the recognition phase
where we open a new scanned image file to be converted into editable document as an
input as per our requirement. Now we select that part of the image from which the data
has to be extracted. Then it looks like:-
70. Hand written screen 25
Next click the “Crop” button such that it finds the bounds of the text that is selected by
the user by composing a red boundary line around the selected text. It is as shown
below:-
Hand written screen 26
Finally click the “Recognize” button such that it extracts/recognizes the characters from
the image and presents it to the user. But this data is still not editable. Hence when we
click on the “EDIT” button provided at the bottom-center then the document becomes
both editable and searchable. This complete process is explained in the upcoming two
screens. It is as shown below:-
71. Hand written screen 27
Hand written screen 28
Now from the data available in the above screen shot, we can make any sort of changes
to the document using cut, copy, paste and etc and You can finally save the document in
two formats(word, text) as per our design.
72. The search function can be carried out here by clicking the “find” image button at the
bottom-left corner. Then it asks the user to enter the search term. It is as shown below:-
Hand written screen29
Now in the above screen shots dialog box, if you click Ok then there are two cases that
happens over here as per our design. They are:-
Case-1:- If the user enter search term resides in the document, then it will display a
dialog box asking the user, “whether he wants to continue the search or not? “.
If the user clicks yes then it will move the cursor to the search term.
If the user clicks no then it will exit the search.
Case-2:-If the user enters a search term that does not reside in the document, then it
will direct display a dialog box saying that the searching is finished. It means that the
search term is not present in the document.
Thus the user can understand whether the search term is present in the document or
not just after entering the search term itself.
73. If we are searching for a term that is already present in the document then the series of
output screens will be as follows:-
Hand written screen 30
Hand written screen31
74. If we are searching for a term that does not reside in the document then the series of
output screens will be as follows:-
32
Hand written screen 33
75. If we are using the editor, you can perform the following actions displayed in the screens
below:-
Hand written screen 34
76. Hand written screen 35
The editor module directly displays the screen as shown below:-
Hand written screen 37
77. STAGE 8
8. CONCLUSION
What does the future hold for OCR? Given enough entrepreneurial designers and sufficient
research and development dollars, OCR can become a powerful tool for future data entry
applications. However, the limited availability of funds in a capital-short environment could
restrict the growth of this technology. But, given the proper impetus and encouragement, a
lot of benefits can be provided by the OCR system. They are:-
The automated entry of data by OCR is one of the most attractive, labor reducing
technology
The recognition of new font characters by the system is very easy and quick.
We can edit the information of the documents more conveniently and we can reuse the
edited information as and when required.
The extension to software other than editing and searching is topic for future works.
The Grid infrastructure used in the implementation of Optical Character Recognition
system can be efficiently used to speed up the translation of image based documents into
structured documents that are currently easy to discover, search and process.
78. STAGE 9
9. FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
The Optical Character Recognition software can be enhanced in the future in different kinds
of ways such as:
Training and recognition speeds can be increased greater and greater by making it
more user-friendly.
Many applications exist where it would be desirable to read handwritten entries.
Reading handwriting is a very difficult task considering the diversities that exist in
ordinary penmanship. However, progress is being made.
