Improving Optical Braille Recognition in Pre-processing Stage Vishwanath Venkatesh Murthy, M Hanumanthappa Icsns 2018 Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Soft Computing and Network Security, 2018 Braille documents are captured and processed and converted into natural text using Optical Braille Recognition (OBR) system. Braille data or information which is embossed on Braille plate is most commonly captured by mobile camera or scanner into Braille image is the input to OBR. Preprocessing is the first stage performed by OBR system. The Noise introduced while Image captured using camera, mobile or scanners involve irregular lightness, low quality image due to less pixel camera, impulse noise, diverse gray-level values, angled or slanted image captured as a result of human error, deformation or warp of image document, deprived or disabled dots, appearance of unwanted dots, irregular gap between adjacent dots that represent a character. Various image enhancement techniques are applied in preprocessing stage to abolished or reduce such impulse noises. The main mission of the paper is to understand and apply a proportional learning of diverse preprocessing techniques on the Braille image and identify the best method to improve quality of Braille image.
Optical Braille recognition and its correspondence in the conversion of Braille script to text - A literature review M Hanumanthappa, Vishwanath Venkatesh Murthy 2016 International Conference on Computation System and Information Technology for Sustainable Solutions Csitss 2016, 2016 Braille is a textile document which is most common means of reading for visually challenged people. There is a significant need to preserve old Braille documents and literatures. Hard-copy Braille is heavy, bulky, which takes considerable space to store and maintain. The materials that are available only in hard copy bear a threat of losing them. The Automation of Braille reading and digitization process will help in preserving, distributing Braille over network and reproducing hard copy only on demands. The need for digitizing Braille has lead many researchers in improvising and implementation of optical Braille recognition systems. A survey and comparative study on various algorithms and techniques proposed and presented by researchers in improvising Optical Braille Recognition system to effectively/efficiently translate Braille to text has been presented in this paper.
