Hey,
i have attached an example programm which explains my problem. I read an image that contains serveral digits. If i canalyze the whole image using OCR it works fine. Now when i crop out a single digit it does not anymore.
is there possibilities to give ocr further parameters to for example tell it that the number is close to the size of the whole picture?
example picture i used:
![zahlen.bmp](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/253606/zahlen.bmp)
[Files, Path] = uigetfile('*.bmp', 'Select CSV File Measurement for Calibration', 'MultiSelect', 'off');
FileName = strcat(Path, char(Files));
image = imread(FileName);
image = imresize(image, [200 NaN]);
figure()
imshow(image);
rest = ocr(image);
number = char(rest.Words)
[row, col] = size(image);
rect = [col/30*zahl, 0, col/30, row];
im_solo = imcrop(image, rect);
figure();
imshow(im_solo);
rest = ocr(im_solo);
number = char(rest.Words)

Hi Oliver,
The single character is not recognized may be due to irregular background or the text is sparse. In this case, if you disable the automatic layout in the ‘ocr’ command it will work. You can run the following code to recognize a single digit:
results = ocr(im_solo,'TextLayout','Block');
results.Text
