title: Using find-contours in line, word, and character segmentation for OCR
body: <p>I am working on a handwritten character recognition system. I have done the preprocessing and line segmentation stage successfully. I have used this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46282691/opencv-cropping-handwritten-lines-line-segmentation">opencv - cropping handwritten lines (line segmentation)</a> for line segmentation which uses findContours for line segmentation. Is this a valid or recommended way of implementing segmentation for OCR</p>
