number-recognition

I would like to capture the number from this kind of picture. I tried multi-scale matching from the following link. http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/01/26/multi-scale-template-matching-using-python-opencv/ All I want to know is the red number. But the problem is, the red number is blurry for openCV recognize/match template. Would there be other possible way to detect this red number on the black background? Classifying Digits You clarified in comments that you've already isolated the number part of the image pre-detection, so I'll start under that assumption. Perhaps you can approximate the

I've been searching for resources for number recognition in images on the web. I found many links providing lots of resources on that topic. But unfortunately it's more confusing than helping, I don't know where to start. I've got an image with 5 numbers in it, non-disturbed (no captcha or something like this). The numbers are black on a white background, written in a standard font. My first step was to separate the numbers. The algorithm I currently use is quite simple, it just checks if a column is entirely white and thus a space. Then it trims each character, so that there is no white
