➢ Objective

■ Recognizing digit from given digit image using template matching.

Figure 01: Process example of digit recognition

➢ Motivation

1. Simplicity:
Template Matching is conceptually simple and easy
…… to understand.
2. Efficiency:
It can be computationally efficient for simple object
… recognition tasks.
3. Localization:
Template Matching provides precise localization of
…. objects.
➢ Application

Uses (Number Recognitions) :

1. Object Detection:
Locate specific objects within images or video frames.
Example: Finding a logo on a product package.
2. Character Recognition:
Identify characters in scanned documents.
Example: Reading handwritten digits on checks.
3. Medical Imaging:
Detecting anomalies in medical images.
Example: Identifying tumors in MRI scans.

➢ Conclusion

1. Template matching is a straightforward technique for digital recognition.

2. Effective for basic pattern detection and simple object identification.
3. However, limitations in handling complex patterns and real-world variability
…… must be considered.

NCC(merits):
Robust to variations in lighting and contrast.
Can handle simple transformations like rotation and scaling.

NCC(demerits):
NCC is sensitive to noise in the images.
Noisy images can lead to incorrect matches due to noisy correlations.
