using tesseract to read text on tire

[Jeppe Søndergaard]

Hi everyone

I have quite a challenge. I am trying to get a good reading of an "inscription" on a tire. But so far no luck. I have preprocessed the image and used tesseract, but no luck. I have attached the processed image I have used for tesseract. Please let me know if you have any suggestions how to do this, or let me know if this is fundamentally impossible with todays technology.

Thanks!

A lot more work has to be done on preprocessing that image. Consider the qualities of printed text that Tesseract is designed to recognize. My advice is to always try and reduce the image to solid black text on a white background before attempting to pass it to Tesseract.
