[PD] Searching for a starting point - 7seg number recognition in pd

[Luigi]

hi list

i would like to ask more advanced programmers for a good starting point.


I would like to do a minimalistic OCR for 7 segment numbers in PD. The  
picture would be captured by a simple webcam.

What is a good way to realize that ??

I found some perl-scripts that seem to do that, or some OCS software  
that one could send the images to.


What do you think, how complicated would it be to write an external  
that does that ?


Help is very much appreciated


bye luigi
