In this video, you will learn how to improve the accuracy of optical character recognition (OCR) by preprocessing your images. You will learn about different techniques for image preprocessing, such as noise removal, binarization, and skew correction. By the end of this video, you will be able to write Python code to preprocess your images for OCR.
