## Introduction

This example shows how the [Captcha OCR](https://keras.io/examples/vision/captcha_ocr/)
example can be extended to the
[IAM Dataset](https://fki.tic.heia-fr.ch/databases/iam-handwriting-database),
which has variable length ground-truth targets. Each sample in the dataset is an image of some
handwritten text, and its corresponding target is the string present in the image.
The IAM Dataset is widely used across many OCR benchmarks, so we hope this example can serve as a
good starting point for building OCR systems.

### Building the character vocabulary

Keras provides different preprocessing layers to deal with different modalities of data.
[This guide](https://keras.io/guides/preprocessing_layers/) provides a comprehensive introduction.
Our example involves preprocessing labels at the character
level. This means that if there are two labels, e.g. "cat" and "dog", then our character
vocabulary should be {a, c, d, g, o, t} (without any special tokens). We use the
[`StringLookup`](https://keras.io/api/layers/preprocessing_layers/categorical/string_lookup/)
layer for this purpose.

### Resizing images without distortion

Instead of square images, many OCR models work with rectangular images. This will become
clearer in a moment when we will visualize a few samples from the dataset. While
aspect-unaware resizing square images does not introduce a significant amount of
distortion this is not the case for rectangular images. But resizing images to a uniform
size is a requirement for mini-batching. So we need to perform our resizing such that
the following criteria are met:

* Aspect ratio is preserved.
* Content of the images is not affected.

## Final remarks

* The `prediction_model` is fully compatible with TensorFlow Lite. If you are interested,
you can use it inside a mobile application. You may find
[this notebook](https://github.com/tulasiram58827/ocr_tflite/blob/main/colabs/captcha_ocr_tflite.ipynb)
to be useful in this regard.
* Not all the training examples are perfectly aligned as observed in this example. This
can hurt model performance for complex sequences. To this end, we can leverage
Spatial Transformer Networks ([Jaderberg et al.](https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.02025))
that can help the model learn affine transformations that maximize its performance.
