I have an image of a cheque and i want to extract the numbers at the bottom of the cheque such as Cheque number, Bank code and Account number using image processing. Can someone advise me what approach should i use? I dont want to use the tesseract OCR because its really irritating to set up and sometimes doesn't work.
