Image Segmentation for Question Detection from test books
OpenCV, detecting a question inside pages includes multiple questions in two columns, cleaning the dataset such noisy pages, unformatted pages, or outliers. Using Pytesseract, changing the format of question images from “.png” to “.txt” which is an analyzable format for future plans such as classification, text mining and analyzing algorithms for wrong questions.
