Does anyone know any API for OCRing 7-Segment Display for Windows Phone?


I'm trying to develop a Windows Phone 8.1 App but I need to recognize some numbers from different Displays.

I was following this example:

That is using the Microsoft OCR Runtime Library:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Windows.Ocr/

However, it doesn't work when I'm trying to recognize those kinds of pics. Even I found this site:

Does anyone have a recommendation? Or Does anyone know any code related to it?

Thank for your worthy knowledge.


Solution

  • Despite it has been a while since Ilya's answer and thanks to his advice and other ones, especially this one:

    Seven Segment Optical Character Recognition

    I was able to create my own class in C#:

    Feel free to use it and improve it.
