title: Text detection on Seven Segment Display via Tesseract OCR
body: <p>The problem that I am running with is to extract the text out of an image and for this I have used Tesseract v3.02. The sample images from which I have to extract text are related to meter readings. Some of them are with solid sheet background and some of them have LED display.
  I have trained the dataset for solid sheet background and the results are some how effective.</p>
  
  <p>The major problem I have now is the text images with LED/LCD background which are not recognized by Tesseract and due to this the training set isn't generated.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone guide me to the right direction on how to use Tesseract with the Seven Segment Display(LCD/LED background) or is there any other alternative that I can use instead of Tesseract.</p>
