MUMBAI, India, Oct. 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411023078 A) filed by Bennett University, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on March 24, 2024, for 'image processing techniques for optical character recognition.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Madhushi Verma; and Dr. Shakti Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on Oct. 24, under issue no. 43/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a comprehensive system for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) incorporating advanced image processing techniques. It includes a pre-processing module for normalizing and enhancing captured images, removing noise, and adjusting contrast and lighting conditions. The system utilizes an image segmentation module that employs various advanced algorithms to partition the enhanced image into separate regions containing individual characters. For character recognition, the OCR module applies machine learning algorithms, offering improved adaptability to different fonts, styles, and distortions. The output module delivers the digitized text and includes a post-processing module to correct possible errors, enhancing the system's overall accuracy. The invention also details a method employing these modules, providing a comprehensive and sophisticated approach to OCR, significantly enhancing recognition accuracy under diverse and challenging conditions."
