So I'm trying to create a program that can see what number an image is and print the integer in the console. (I'm using python 3)
For example that the program recognizes that the following image (an actual image the program has to check) is number 2:
I've tried to just compare it with an other image with the 2 in it with cv2.matchTemplate()
but each time the blue pixels rgb values are a little bit different for each image and the image could be a bit larger or smaller. for example the following image:
It also has to recognize it apart from al the other blue number images (0-9), for example the following one:
I've tried mulitple match template codes, and make a folder with number 0-9 images as templates, but each time almost every single number is recognized in the number that needs to be recognized. for example number 5 gets recognized in an image that is number 2. And if its doesnt recognize all of them, it recognizes the wrong one(s).
The ones I've tried:
but like I said before it comes with those problems.
I've also tried to see how much percentage blue is in each image, but those numbers were to close to tell the numbers appart by seeing how much blue was in them.
Does anyone have a solution? Am I being stupid for using cv2.matchTemplate()
and is there a much simpler option? (I don't mind using a library for it, because this is part of a bigger piece of code, but I prefer to code it, instead of libraries)
