Abstract:
This paper proposes a system for recognizing the
identity card number. The quality of the color image of
identity card is enhanced by image filtering technique.
Color sensing is carried out to get the image portion
of the identity card number . Noise canceling is
performed to remove the unwanted pixel areas. The
characters and digits are segmented out individually
by horizontal and vertical Histogram projections. The
individual images of printed Myanmar characters and
handwritten Myanmar digits are resized into
predetermined size to get uniformity. These
preprocessed images are applied into the ANN of the
proposed system. The ANN is de signed with three
layers; input , hidden and output layer. The output
values of the output layer are the certaint y values of
digits and characters. The highest certainty output
value is the digit or character that is recognized by the
network. After all the digits and characters are
recognized, the proposed system identifies out the
identity card number.
