  8. Optical braille recognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Braille_recognition

    The system, however, was unable to handle deformities in the braille grid, so well-formed braille documents were required. [3] In 1999, a group at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University implemented an optical braille recognition technique using edge detection to translate braille into English or Chinese text. [4]
