Artificial neural networks are commonly used in optical character recognition algorithms due to their flexibility, ability to learn, and power. ANNs work by taking an input, running it through a network of neurons arranged in layers, and producing an output. They can be trained to recognize patterns through a learning stage where they are given many examples of input and output pairs. Once trained, ANNs can accurately evaluate new inputs and recognize characters at a 98% rate with only 5% error. Common types of ANNs include feedforward, recurrent, radial basis function, and self-organizing networks.

The data from these bills or invoices can be used extensively later on –such as machine learning or statistical analysis. This research focuses on extraction of final bill-amount, itinerary, date and similar data from bills and invoices as they encapsulate an ample amount of information about the users purchases, likes or dislikes etc. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is a system that provides a full alphanumeric recognition of printed or handwritten characters from images.

This paper presents the development of a camera-based assistive text reading framework to help blind persons read text labels and product packaging from hand-held objects in their daily lives. Recent developments in computer vision, digital cameras, and portable computers make it feasible to assist these individuals by developing camera-based products that combine computer vision technology with other existing commercial products such optical character recognition (OCR) systems. To automatically extract the text regions from the object, we propose a artificial neural network algorithm by learning gradient features of stroke orientations and distributions of edge pixels in an Adaboost model. Text characters in the localized text regions are binarized for processing the algorithm and the text characters are recognized by off-the-shelf OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and other process involved . Now the binarized signals are converted to audible signal. The working principle is as follows first the respected image will be captured and then it is converted to binary signals. Now the image is diagnosed to find whether the text is present in the image. Secondly, if the text is present, then the object of interest is detected. The respected text of the image is recognized and then converted to audible signals. Thus the recognized text codes are given as speech to the user.

IRJET- Text Reading for Visually Impaired Person using Raspberry PiIRJET Journal
1) The document presents a system to help visually impaired people read text using optical character recognition and text-to-speech conversion on a Raspberry Pi.
2) The system uses a camera mounted on glasses to take images of text, which are then processed using OCR and converted to audio using e-Speak for the user to hear.
3) It aims to allow visually impaired people to independently read text on product labels, documents and other materials by carrying a portable device that recognizes text in images and converts it to audio in real time.
This paper presents the development of a camera-based assistive text reading framework to help blind persons read text labels and product packaging from hand-held objects in their daily lives. Recent developments in computer vision, digital cameras, and portable computers make it feasible to assist these individuals by developing camera-based products that combine computer vision technology with other existing commercial products such optical character recognition (OCR) systems. To automatically extract the text regions from the object, we propose a artificial neural network algorithm by learning gradient features of stroke orientations and distributions of edge pixels in an Adaboost model. Text characters in the localized text regions are binarized for processing the algorithm and the text characters are recognized by off-the-shelf OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and other process involved . Now the binarized signals are converted to audible signal. The working principle is as follows first the respected image will be captured and then it is converted to binary signals. Now the image is diagnosed to find whether the text is present in the image. Secondly, if the text is present, then the object of interest is detected. The respected text of the image is recognized and then converted to audible signals. Thus the recognized text codes are given as speech to the user.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1. AN DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH OF COLLABORATIVE NEURAL
NETWORK &OCR BASED ASSISTIVE SYSTEM FOR TEXT DETECTION
WITH VOICE OUTPUT
Abstract:
Reading is apparently essential in today’s society. Printed text everywhere in the form of reports,
receipts, bank statements, classroom handouts, instructions on medicine bottles, etc. And while
optical aids, video magnifiers, and screen readers can help blind users and those with low vision to
access, there documents. There are few devices that can provide good common hand-held objects
printed with text such as invention packages. Objects printed with text such as prescription
medication bottles. The most well-known answers for tag restriction in computerized pictures are
through the execution of edge extraction, morphological administrators, and Sobel administrator. An
edge methodology is ordinarily straightforward and quick. Sobel administrator for edge discovery
gives constructive outcomes on the picture. The confinement of tags through morphologically based
methodologies is not defenseless to clamor but rather is moderate in execution. After the limitation of
the tag comes the character division process. Normal character division procedures depend on
histogram investigation and thresholding. Other late methodologies proposed are the utilization of
counterfeit neural systems.
Existing System:
• Today, there are already a few systems that have some promise for portable use, but they
cannot handle product labeling. For example, portable bar code readers designed to help blind
people identify different products in an extensive product database can enable users who are
blind to access information about these products.
• But a big limitation is that it is very hard for blind users to find the position of the bar code
and to correctly point the bar code reader at the bar code.
2. ProposedSystem:
Our proposed project automatically focus the text regions from the object, we offer a novel
text localization algorithm by learning gradient features of stroke orientations and distributions of
edge pixels using artificial neural network. Text characters in the localized text regions are then
binarized and recognized by off-the-shelf optical character identification software. The renowned text
codes are converted into audio output to the blind users.
