Image processing techniques for braille writing recognition
2005
In this paper we present the development of BrailLector, a system able to speak from Braille writing. By means of dynamic thresholding, adaptive Braille grid, recovery dots techniques and TTS software (Text-To-Speech), BrailLector translates Braille scanned images into normal text, and not only that, it speaks the translated text. BrailLector is a robust application with innovative thersholding and Braille grid creation algorithms which detects and read Braille characters with 99.9% of correct symbols and an error variance below 0.012. The conversion time is only 26 secs for double-sided documents by MATLAB programming language.
