Can I train a symbol as special character with ocr?

Hi there,

I'm trying to recognize a dial symbol as a special character so I can locate it when I use the ocr function.

However, is not recognizing that symbol at all.

This is my image after training the model. I wanted to locate the green symbol.

Is there another way to do this?

Do you have any suggestion @Image Analyst?

Hi Pedro,

I think you need to train an ocr to compensate for the symbol. you can refer to ocrTrain App in MATLAB. you manually have to collect enough data and train a classifier. After training you can export the file and use it in typical ocr workflow.

I hope this helps.

Cheers.
